DOOKIE DRIVE PEDAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY
The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal recreates the iconic tones of Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar sound from Green Day's "Dookie" album. This unique pedal offers a range of overdriven tones by emulating the sound of heavily modified amplifiers. With High Gain and Crunch Gain sections and a Blend control, users can create a variety of sounds, from punchy to articulate. The Scoop switch offers an extra mid-range scoop in the overall output signal, making it a versatile option for players looking to emulate the tones of other pedals such as a Marshall BluesBreaker, or dial in their own signature sound.
What MXR say about the DOOKIE DRIVE PEDAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Billie Joe Armstrong’s guitar tone on Green Day’s groundbreaking album Dookie sounded dirty and punchy, with the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He got that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers—one scooped with a ton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band blended the two signals together in different ratios to match the vibe of each track.
The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. We borrowed his amps so that the MXR team could carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After much analysis and A/B testing, our engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit them into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.
The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal isn’t just for Green Day fans—it’s a totally unique pedal that provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special edition features an all-new finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie’s monumental release in 1994.
