Johnny Hiland "Mad Dog" Overdrive/Distortion
Wampler Pedals' Johnny Hiland "Mad Dog" Overdrive/Distortion is a potent tone-shaping tool designed in collaboration with the renowned country virtuoso himself. Hiland's mastery of the guitar is matched only by his discerning ear for exceptional sound, and this pedal is the embodiment of his quest for the perfect overdrive. What sets the "Mad Dog" apart is its ability to seamlessly transition from smooth, singing overdrive to aggressive, saturated distortion - all with a simple twist of the gain knob. The pedal's voicing is meticulously crafted to accentuate the natural harmonics and dynamic response of your guitar, allowing your playing to shine through with clarity and articulation, even at high gain settings. But the "Mad Dog" is more than just a one-trick pony. Its three-band EQ section gives you precise control over the pedal's midrange presence, bass response, and treble sparkle, enabling you to sculpt your tone to fit any musical context - from country chicken-pickin' to hard-hitting rock riffs. Hiland's stamp of approval is evident in the pedal's touch sensitivity and responsive feel, which allow you to coax a wide range of expressive tones simply by adjusting your picking attack. Whether you're chasing that elusive "woman tone" or seeking to unleash a wall of distorted fury, the "Mad Dog" is a versatile companion that will elevate your playing to new heights.
