MXR Distortion Plus Reviews

One of the best!

Love it, will be using it with my TB-03

Pas d'alimentation

Tout est parfait.

Par contre ils auraient pu fournir l'adaptateur secteur 9V ou une pile... J'ai dû repasser une commande car je ne savais pas.

Good distortion, with some weaknesses for synths

Pros: This is a very nice sounding distortion if you want that classic distorted 303 acid vibe with an analog synth. It's built like a tank, and I can imagine it will survive a lot.

Cons. The output volume is a bit on the low side for a synth, even when the input signal is high. You also need to turn down the output volume of your synth to get the right sound. Also, the output volume is way too low to loop it back into your modular with a "eurorack" 5V signal level.

To be honest I first bought that one because it was similar to the one that Randy Rhoads had .But after testing it , it is just a glorious piece of metal .I play my marshall in the clean channel and with this pedal alongside my Ibanez tubescreamer and the mxr eq and reverb you would think that heavy metal is here more than ever. Can't get enough of it. No regrets.

Really nice unit!

I have a script logo from 1977 to compare this new 2016 MXR Distortion + and it is spot on. It is very difficult to hear the difference between the two unit. MXR has done a stellar job with this effect. It's as good as the original! Seriously, if you ever owned one of these and remember the fantastic sound of it, you won't be disappointed.

Did not like it.

I did not use it on guitar but on bass synth as a pedal and did not like the sound at all. Had some other distortions which sounded far better to me then this unit. It might be a legend on a guitar but did not work for me on synths.
