Mad Professor Amplification announced The Green Wonder, an overdrive and booster pedal, in August 2022. The Finnish company described it as "the ultimate high-headroom overdrive/booster pedal"¹ and as a revised version of its Little Green Wonder².

The pedal has four knobs: Volume, Drive, Bass and Treble. The Little Green Wonder has three, labeled Volume, Drive and Body². Mad Professor says the added Bass and Treble controls let players adjust low and high frequencies to suit other gear³, and that the EQ is colored for a slight midrange boost¹. The company says the pedal has high output and suits both single-coil and humbucking pickups, and that it works with clean, overdriven or heavily distorted amp tones¹². It also says the pedal can push the front end of a tube amp into natural clipping when used as a clean boost¹.

CEO Harri Koski gave the pedal a shorter pitch: "Here´s our take on the ultimate green pedal!"¹. MusicRadar rendered the name as Harry Koski and the quote as "It's our take on the ultimate green pedal!"².

The Green Wonder is set for release in October 2022, with pricing to be confirmed¹. MusicRadar put the arrival at the end of October². Guitar.com reported that the manufacturer promised to have shipped the pedal to dealers before then¹.
