MXR Distortion+

Distortion pedal

The MXR Distortion+ (model M104) is a classic hard-clipping distortion pedal with Output and Distortion controls. It ranges from cool overdriven blues tones to huge 1980s hard-rock distortion and was one of MXR's original four pedals. Its smooth, compressed clipping made it a defining sound for many early metal and hard-rock players.

    MXR is an American effects pedal brand founded by Keith Barr and Terry Sherwood in Rochester, New York, in the early 1970s. Its early stompboxes — the Phase 90, Distortion+, Dyna Comp, and Blue Box — brought studio-quality effects to guitarists in rugged, simple enclosures and became stage and studio standards. After MXR ceased operations in the 1980s, Jim Dunlop acquired the brand, reissued the original pedals, and added modern classics such as the Carbon Copy analog delay.
