The MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive harnesses MOSFET technology to
amplify and enrich the natural sound of your rig with the the warm, organic
sound of classic tube amps—and it comes with a simple-yet-effective set of
controls to shape its tone to complement your setup. Setup is easy—just dial
in your desired Master volume and Gainlevels, fine-tune it all with the 3-band
EQ, and then choose your output mode with the BOOST/OD switch:
Boost for cleaner notes and rich sustain, OD for smooth, mellow overdrive.
On top of that, this pedal uses a Class A Low Impedance Output Driver to
preserve the integrity of your sound and prevent signal loss across long FX chains.
Shin and the MXR Custom Shop have come together once again to create the Raijin Drive, a pedal that reinvents two iconic Japanese stompboxes—an overdrive and a distortion—with greater tonal range and usability so that those beloved sounds can keep up with the modern tone chase.
Shin designed both channels from scratch, honing in on the best qualities of the aforementioned pedals with his refined ear and then recreating them with a more versatile and responsive tonal palette. The overdrive signal is smooth, fat, and wide open while the distortion signal packs an aggressive, harmonically rich punch with just enough gain to get good and heavy. Each signal complements the voice of your instrument, allowing your unique tonal character to be the star of the mix. Alternating between the two is as simple as the flick of a switch. Level, Tone, and Drive controls make it super easy to dial in a great sound and start playing.
With classic Japanese overdrive and distortion sounds carefully tailored with enough sonic flexibility to please any connoisseur, the Raijin Drive is a must-have for your board. Getting them both in the same box makes this pedal a space-saving no-brainer.
