Heather Brown announces Blessed Mother V2 overdrive
August 17, 2023 · 3 sources
Heather Brown Electronicals announced the Blessed Mother V2, an updated version of its first pedal, with increased output and headroom and slightly more aggressive tone controls1. The announcement was dated December 5, 2019, from Princeton, NJ2.
The Blessed Mother is a light gain, transparent overdrive with boost built around a combination of germanium and silicon diodes1. The V2 keeps that diode combination, with increased output and headroom for broader tone control, and runs on 9V or 18V DC3. It has five knobs: Volume, Drive, Treble, Bass and the Immaculator, which blends clean signal back in2. The switching is true bypass2, and a halo stays lit while a heart lights up when the pedal is engaged1.
In the maker's words:
"Her supernatural combination of germanium and silicon diodes generates a uniquely raw, yet velvety tone."
The Blessed Mother V2 was listed at $2202 and was available from the Heather Brown Electronicals website at godsmom.com or the company's Reverb.com store2. Guitar World reported it as available now for $2203.
