The Blessed Mother V2 births a classic overdrive sound, perfecting that raw, yet velvety tone. The range goes deep and wide thanks to the Immaculator function, which allows you to control the transparency of the drive. Dial in sounds from vintage, Tubescreamer-like grit to a heavenly, transparent boost. The Blessed Mother plays well with others and often enhances other drives in the signal chain. Thanks to a supernatural combination of silicon and germanium diodes, the gain has a warm and sweet character to it, just like you would expect from God's mom. Separate treble and bass controls allow you to really tailor the feel to your liking, but this pedal’s speciality is its powerful midrange that can cut through no matter where on the neck you are playing.

Features:

  • Blend knob for added transparency control 
  • Drive, Treble, and Bass controls
  • 9v or 18v DC. (Center Negative)
  • 33mA draw

Dear Mother of God:
I didn't attend 12 years of parochial school just to put my self into the occasion of sin when I needed a clean boost for my Rockabilly Rig. It starts with a 5w, 8ohm "Oripure" tube amp that blows thru a 12" 30w "Missing Link" speaker. This is sonically sculpted through a minimalist pedal board: "Peterson Stomp Strobe Tuner", "Wampler Mini Ego Compression", "Memphis Sun Echo/Reverb/Double-tracker" & finally "Blessed Mother Boost. With the "Immaculator" all the way up & little to no drive you have a sweet "Buddy Holly" tone. Dial in the opposite & you got a "Train Kept a Rollin' All Night Long" sound that's worth a little time in Purgatory. Valve amp & 3 pedals, pretty much takes care of this genre. Thank you Ms. Brown & crew for answering my prayers.

Very Impressed All Around

So I'll be honest...I was a little hesitant to get this pedal because I thought it would have too much overlap with some other things I have. I have a Notaklön that I really dig, and thought I'd get the Blessed Mother to compare and then pick one to sell. Well...I'm keeping both. I use a Morning Glory as a a first stage OD, and the Blessed Mother stacked onto it is unreal. I tried really hard to get the same tones from the Notaklön and Blessed Mother, and while I got them kind of close, there's a big enough difference in what each pedal does that I'll keep them both in the chain.

The Immaculator took me some time to get used to...I think dialing in the suggested settings printed on the box is a good way to kind of learn how the pedal works. I was getting some decent sounds just kind of guessing at first, but nothing that really spoke to me. As soon as I started using the suggested settings, it kind of clicked how all the controls work together. Such a cool pedal that has a lot of nuance and versatility.

I took the backplate off to see Heather's initials and the date, and I was BLOWN AWAY at how good the build quality of the pedal is on the inside. Heather is a master of her craft...I'm hopeful that if she puts out another effect it is one I don't already have.

Finally...it's the coolest looking pedal I own. I love the cream color and the design of Mary. The always on halo and the Immaculate Heart of Mary lighting up are just too cool. Love love love.

FANTASTIC Pedal..!!

There’s already been many nice technical reviews here, but for me it just comes down to sound, functionality & aesthetics. In this case the Blessed Mother has them all - in spades.

I’m a retired pastor, just a home player now, but this pedal is the very most favorite OD pedal in my entire collection. (A collection of over 500 pedals, with a lot of them being top tier dirt boxes.) You, too, will be “blessed” should you add it to your collection!

And as for the “Selling Christianity” complaint by one reviewer? Come on. That’s just ridiculous. There’s dozens & dozens of pedals expressing imagery of various faiths out there, and a disproportionate amount of them being odes to the devil, so that ship just won’t sail. By any name the Blessed Mother is just a beautiful piece of work, utterly gorgeous in every way, I cannot even imagine a person not loving it. Buy one, become “immaculated” (a killer feature on this pedal), and share with your friends.

Thank you SO MUCH, Heather..!!
