The MXR Distortion+ is one of the most influential distortion pedals ever created, delivering the raw, harmonically rich drive that helped define the sound of classic rock. Its straightforward two-knob layout makes it effortless to dial in everything from gritty bluesy breakup to the aggressive crunch that powered countless recordings throughout the late '70s and early '80s. Equally effective as a standalone distortion or as a boost pushing the front end of a tube amp, the Distortion+ responds beautifully to your playing dynamics. Simple, expressive, and unmistakably musical, it remains a timeless staple for players seeking authentic vintage-inspired drive.

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 classic early '80s hard rock tone. There still isn't any distortion unit on the market that sounds like the Distortion+.

This pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
