MXR M104 Distortion + Distortion Pedal
In the middle ranges of the Output and Distortion controls, you’ll find soft-clipped distortion tones that sound truly retro-authentic, especially when they’re mixed with a splash of reverb. Pushing Distortion up higher produces classic fuzz tones that are finding their way onto an increasing number of albums. A welcome, enjoyable alternative to LA saturation and British crunch
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 the tone that made Randy Rhoads famous. There still isn’t any distortion unit on the market that sounds like the Distortion+.
"When I was 15, I first arrived at my potential sound with an MXR Distortion+, a Memphis LP copy and a Fender Princeton amp." – Slash
