Mad Professor Amplification announced the Nashville Hot Mids solo boost, a modded version of its Ruby Red Booster pedal, with more of a focus on the upper-mids, aiming to make solos cut even more¹.

The original Ruby Red Booster, made by Mad Professor, is a combination of two boosters, based on the BJF Little Red Trebler and the Red Rooster Booster, and can be used as a regular boost pedal, a treble booster or even as an overdrive pedal²³.

On the Nashville Hot Mids version, the treble pot now introduces more upper-mid frequencies as it is cranked clockwise¹. Mad Professor described the result:

• A solo boost focused on the upper-mids rather than treble alone¹
• A treble control that blends presence and mids as it turns up¹
• A thick, sparkly lead tone for solos¹

The original Ruby Red Booster drew a positive verdict from MusicRadar's reviewers, who wrote that "This isn't just another stompbox. Mad Professor has put a lot of thought into its function and tone," and noted its more affordable price widened its appeal³.
