This isn’t just another distortion pedal — it’s a piece of rock ‘n’ roll immortality with a stunning look inspired by Randy’s iconic pinstriped Flying V guitars.
Key Features & Specifications
- Circuit & Tone: Exact recreation of Randy Rhoads’ personal MXR Distortion+, using carefully matched components and germanium diode clipping for organic, dynamic, tube-like overdrive. Goes from subtle overdriven boost to thick, singing distortion with a mid-focused hump that cuts through the mix perfectly for leads and rhythms.
- Controls:
- Distortion knob: Adjusts gain from light overdrive (around 3.5 dB) all the way to aggressive saturation (up to ~46 dB at 1 kHz).
- Output knob: Controls overall volume/level for pushing your amp harder or matching unity gain.
- True Hardwire Bypass: Your tone remains untouched when the pedal is off.
- Visual Design: Special edition finish with white base and bold black pinstripe graphics inspired by Randy’s legendary guitars. Features premium gold hardware accents, knobs, and jacks for a premium, collector-worthy look.
- Power: 9V battery (included) or standard 9V DC adapter (Dunlop ECB003 or MXR Brick series recommended). Low current draw for easy pedalboard integration.
- I/O: 1/4" input and output jacks.
- Build: Rugged MXR housing, pedalboard-friendly size (compact footprint).
- Extras: Includes exclusive collector’s booklet and certificate of authenticity — perfect for fans and tone chasers alike.
Whether you’re chasing that classic Ozzy-era tone, need a reliable always-on boost for your Marshall-style rig, or simply want the most authentic vintage Distortion+ experience available today, the MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ delivers the goods with zero compromise.
