Do you prefer simple or complex distortion pedals? With an interface that's about as simple as it gets, the MXR Distortion+ makes it easy as heck to conjure up a range of grit and grind, from subtle overdrive to borderline fuzz. First released in 1974, this yellow box is one of the company's foundational offerings alongside the Phase 90, the Dyna Comp Compressor, and the Blue Box Fuzz. Its timeless tones can be heard on top hits from Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, and Mr. Big among many others. Put one on your pedalboard, and hear for yourself why the MXR Distortion+ is still at the top of the list for the ultimate crunch and saturation. • #mxr #distortionplus #mxrdistortionplus #distortionpedal #builtinthebay #performanceiseverything #performanceiseverywhere #jimdunlop

Reconditioning a vintage 1976 MXR Distortion+. Randy Rhoads used it for that crunchy heavy metal sound in his work with Ozzy Osbourne, while Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead exclusively used it for distortion in the late 70s. And who can forget Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü, who made the Distortion + a key part of his signature guitar sound! What distortion pedals do you use? I wanna know!🎸🎶 #distortion #guitarpedals #musiclegends #MXR #dunloppicks #asmr

【Japan Vintage Pedal】 Maxon D&S Ⅱ と 80年代のMXR Distortion+ の比較です。D&S Ⅱのトーンコントロールは、音色の調整の幅を広げ、より多様なサウンドが得られる点が特徴です。MXR Distortion+のシンプルな仕様に対してトーンコントロールがあることで、音のクリアさやミッドレンジの調整ができ、音色のカスタマイズがしやすいですね。 #vintagepedals #japanvintagepedal #maxonpedals #tubescreamer #チューブスクリーマー #overdrivepedal #mxrpedals #distortionpedal #mxrdistortionplus

Which sound is your favorite? Today were checking out the Ross Distortion. Released as part of the new @jhspedals revival of the Ross lineup, the Distortion recreates two different revisions of the classic circuit. The Ross Distortion is a hard clipping Op-Amp based circuit similar to the likes of the DOD 250 & MXR Distortion, and does a great job of creating amp like drive tones. And does a great job of slamming the front end of your amp at higher drive tones. The layout is nice and simple, Level controls the output of the circuit, Distort controls the amount of Gain. There is a push button switch on the side that switches between a Germanium mode (Era 2 of the circuit) and Silicon (Era 3 of the circuit). The Silicon gives the tone a little extra bite and aggression. I’m using it on sounds 2 & 3 in this video. Thank you to Ross/JHS for sending this to be a part of the series.

How Frequencies Shape Your Tone (MXR 10-Band Edition) 🎛️ –
797,874

How Frequencies Shape Your Tone (MXR 10-Band Edition) 🎛️ – Save for later! 🤘 EQs are a powerful tool for sculpting guitar tone—almost everything sonically can be tweaked with EQ. In this video, I’m scooping (cutting) and boosting (pushing) each slider on an MXR 10-Band, using a Marshall JCM800 as my base tone. With 10 bands, you have surgical control over your sound! 👨‍🍳 🔹 31.25Hz (Sub Lows) Mostly rumble. For standard guitar, you almost always want to cut this to tighter up the speaker response and remove useless noise that clashes with the bass guitar. 🔹 62.5Hz (Deep Lows) Adds massive thump and cabinet resonance. Great for doom, but too much kills tightness in fast metal. 🔹 125Hz (Lows) The “body” of your guitar tone. Boosting adds warmth and fullness; cutting it can thin things out too much if you aren’t careful. 🔹 250Hz (Mud / Low Mids) The danger zone! I usually cut this slightly. Too much here makes palm mutes sound woofy and congested. Clearing this out lets the bass guitar breathe in the mix. 🔹 500Hz (Boxy Mids) A classic scoop frequency. Cutting here gives you that “hollow” thrash metal rhythm sound. Boosting it gives a very woody, vintage honk. 🔹 1kHz (Aggressive Mids) The core attack frequency. Modern metal often needs this boosted to cut through, while classic 90s scooped tones heavily cut this slider. 🔹 2kHz (Upper Mids) This is where the “pick attack” lives. Boost this if you need your riffs to be heard clearly in a dense mix. Essential for lead tones! 🔹 4kHz (Presence/Bite) Adds sharpness and definition. If your amp feels as if it has a “blanket” over it, boost this slider. 🔹 8kHz (Sizzle) High treble that adds brightness and aggressive fizz. Be careful—too much here gets harsh very quickly with high gain. 🔹 16kHz (Air) Often subtle on standard guitar speakers, but it adds a hi-fi “sheen” or “air” to the very top end of your signal. Tighter chugs? Cut 250Hz slightly. More pick attack? Boost 2kHz. Buried in the mix? Bump up 1kHz and 2kHz to cut through. How do you set your 10-band? #guitartone #guitareq #metalguitar #thrashmetal #guitargear #guitar
