About MXR Effects Pedals

MXR guitar effects have been used for decades. With their bucket brigade technology they last just as long. MXR Effects Pedals originated with some of the best effects pedals in the 70’s and still inspire with effects like the Carbon Copy.
Top 3 Reasons to Get a MXR Guitar Effects Pedal
1-MXR ’78 Custom Bad Ass Distortion – A most popular MXR effect.
*“The first in a line from the MXR Custom Badass design team, the MXR Custom Badass ’78 Distortion is a factory-modded pedal that roars with huge amp stack tones and old school tube amp-like distortion.”
2-MXR Distorion+ : 70’s soft clipped distortion used by the likes of Randy Rhoads and Jimmy Hendrix.
*“This little yellow box is responsible for those great distortion sounds heard on so many classic recordings. Set the Distortion control low and crank the Output knob to drive the front end of your amp for cool blues tones, or max out the Distortion knob for the tone that made Randy Rhoads famous. There still isn't any distortion unit on the market that sounds like the Distortion+.”
3-MXR Fullbore Metal Guitar Effects Pedal
*“Ultimate riff power is yours with the Fullbore Metal Distortion pedal from MXR. This compact but powerful device is all you need to unleash the most devastating contemporary metal guitar tones ever heard. The Fullbore Metal turbo-charges your guitar signal with lethal amounts of ultra high gain. This is combined with a built-in Noise Gate to knock out the noise associated with extreme gain levels while also adding definition and tightness to syncopated metal riffs.”
