MXR
DISTORTION+
$99.99Reference price
An MXR distortion pedal introduced in the 1970s. Its two-knob OUTPUT and DISTORTION layout covers everything from soft, amp-overdrive-like breakup to raw, fuzz-like tones. Used by Randy Rhoads and many other guitarists, it helped shape the sound of '70s and '80s rock and hard rock. With DISTORTION rolled back and OUTPUT raised, it also works as a booster.
The MXR distortion behind '70s rock
A classic distortion pedal introduced in the 1970s. Its warm, natural drive has kept it in use across genres for decades.
Tone shaping with just OUTPUT and DISTORTION
The DISTORTION knob covers everything from soft, amp-overdrive-like breakup to raw, fuzz-like tones. Set modestly with OUTPUT raised, it also works as a booster pushing an amp's gain.
A hard rock staple
Its warm distortion became tied to the sound of '70s and '80s rock and hard rock, forming part of the sound of Randy Rhoads and many other guitarists. The rugged enclosure that withstands the abuse of touring and live work is another MXR hallmark.
