MXR Distortion + Pedal
MXR Distortion + Pedal — Vintage Grit, Classic Simplicity
The MXR Distortion + is one of the most iconic stompboxes in rock history — a straightforward, no-nonsense distortion pedal that’s been shaping legendary tones since the 1970s. Designed with just two knobs — Output and Distortion — it delivers everything from subtle, tube-like grit to roaring classic rock crunch, all with the twist of a dial.
Inside, the Distortion + features a single op-amp circuit paired with germanium clipping diodes, producing that warm, organic breakup players love. As you increase the Distortion control, the pedal not only adds gain but also naturally boosts treble frequencies, giving your tone an edge that cuts through the mix. Its minimalist design means no tone control — just pure, responsive drive that reacts beautifully to your guitar’s pickups and playing dynamics.
This golden box has powered countless legendary sounds. Randy Rhoads used it to craft his searing metal tones with Ozzy Osbourne, while Jerry Garcia, Bob Mould, and Thom Yorke each relied on its distinctive voice to shape their signature styles. Even Dave Murray of Iron Maiden and Slash cite it as a crucial early ingredient in their tone.
From gritty blues overdrive to raw hard-rock punch, the MXR Distortion + remains a timeless favorite for players chasing that authentic, vintage distortion sound — simple, reliable, and unmistakably classic.
