The MXR Distortion+ (M104) is a versatile distortion pedal offering a wide range of tones from blues overdrive to '80s hard rock distortion. Its germanium-powered clipping delivers subtle overdrive to fuzz-like saturation. This classic pedal, still unmatched, is a staple for guitarists seeking iconic distortion sounds.
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 classic early '80s hard rock tone. There still isn't any distortion unit on the market that sounds like the Distortion+.
