MHP mods

A while back I sent a pedal to Keith at Machine Head pedals to get modded and got it back @ 2 weeks ago. I wanted to get some time on it before posting about it. Honeymoons over so here goes----

The pedal was a Nashville Hotboost made by Eden Analog. I really liked the pedal but thought the mids were way over the top. Couldn't dial them out without getting muddy. After several conversations with Keith I sent it to him.

I don't know what he did ( fairy dust, snake oil, voodoo ) but now it's just about perfect. No more mud. Tone knob works the whole spectrum and the top end clarity is a lot smoother. Roll it back and bass stays intact without getting flabby. I didn't want all the mids dialed out because it is a colored boost, but now it sets "in the mix" without overpowering it. He is very affordable compared to other builders I talked with and turn around time was excellent. Great communication skills--- he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. He understood what I wanted and he delivered more than I anticipated. Highly recommend.

Yep--- he's a good dude alright. I know he lost money just in the time he spent on the phone with me!!

Hey Mark--- I opened the pedal up to check out his work and he deff has some skillz. CLEAN. I've got to try out his 72 degree pedal. Then I'll go get some therapy.
