Overview

An overdrive/distortion pedal designed by Brent Mason.

Most people think they've never heard of Brent Mason. Although you may not recognize the name, chances are you've heard him. Brent is, without doubt, the number 1 session musician working out of Nashville and has been since the early 1990's.

If you have seen ˜Friends', ˜Bridget Jones Diary' or ˜Becker'¦ Or listened to Shania Twain, Travis Tritt, Alan Jackson, George Strait or any other of the hundreds of artists that call Brent first when they need a guitar player on their recording, you've heard him. It's getting to the point now where Brent is probably one of the most recorded guitar players in history.

Not only is he a now a legendary studio figure, but also a renowned composer and songwriter. His compositions have been used in countless films, TV shows and commercials. His solo albums, in particular "Hot Wired" (from which this pedal got its name) has become almost mythical in its reputation for guitar tone and quality of musicianship.

Built on the foundations of Hot Wired Version 1, The Brent Mason Hot Wired Signature Overdrive/Distortion Version 2 stands alone in terms of versatility. The studio scene in Nashville has changed over the last few years, so Hot Wired changed to mirror the industry Brent works in. Version 1 was geared towards all out chickin' pickin' and beyond . Version 2 brings you a broader range of subtlety in channel 1 that mirrors Brent's work today. You can still find the chickin' pickin' tones, but you can also find a deeper, warmer overdrive section that will allow you to play as smooth as you like. With the added blend control, you won't believe how fat your tone can be without it sounding too overdriven. Channel 2 still has the same "Plexi" flavor that Brent loves.

Two pedals in one (overdrive and distortion), this is without doubt one of the most versatile pedals available today. One channel has all your overdrive needs, from a gentle break up to all out crunch, the other gives you dirt, loads of fat, creamy distortion that is tonally perfect from top to bottom. If need be you can stack them both together for a huge, huge sound.

Features

  • Hand made in the U.S.A.
  • High grade film capacitors and resistors picked for their superior sound and response
  • Completely true bypass
  • Battery connection and 9v power jack (barrel plug like Boss)
  • Built to Brent's specs exactly
  • Two separate pedals in one box, each with their own gain structure - volume|tone|gain (clean blend on channel 1)
  • Bass boost switch on each channel (two extra stages)
  • Brent's personal pedal is the exact same as the ones we build for everyone
  • Both channels can be used at the same time for ultimate "stacking" tones

When it has Brent' name on it, you know it' nothing short of perfect.
