Painstakingly Matched Vintage Circuitry for Authentic Rhoads Tone

MXR's engineers disassembled Rhoads' original Distortion+ and mapped every component, taking detailed notes at the Rhoads family's Musonia School of Music in Los Angeles. The team recreated the pedal's circuit, including the subtleties that gave Rhoads' sound its edge and sustain. The result is a meticulously crafted special-edition Distortion+ that captures the harmonically rich drive and smooth clipping of Rhoads' vintage unit. With the stomp of a switch, you can achieve the same biting distortion and violin-like lead tones that shaped classic recordings like "Crazy Train," "Mr. Crowley" and so many more.
