CAE BOOST/OVERDRIVE
The MXR CAE Boost/Overdrive is a compact guitar effects pedal combining a dynamic overdrive and a clean boost circuit. The overdrive delivers warm, sustaining tones from bluesy overdrive to full-metal crunch, while cleaning up when the guitar volume is rolled back. The independent boost circuit solves signal conditioning issues. The MC402 is touch sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics, with high-quality components for quiet operation.
What MXR say about the CAE BOOST/OVERDRIVE
The Boost/Overdrive offers the combination of a simple dynamic overdrive and an independent clean boost circuit—all in one compact pedal. The overdrive section is truly "classic", adding warmth, sustain and punch, without coloring your sound. It can go from a bluesy, slightly overdriven sound to full-metal crunch with a twist of the gain knob. The MC402 also cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar volume, making it extremely touch sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics, without becoming thin sounding. The boost circuit alone is a bonus, as it is the exact same circuit CAE has used for years to solve a wide variety of signal conditioning problems in major guitar systems. The MC402's high quality components provide quiet operation and trouble-free interaction with other pedals on your board. In keeping with the CAE tradition, the design is simple and straight forward, with a minimum of controls—only what is necessary to do the job.
