The MXR Custom Audio Electronics (MC-402) Boost/Overdrive is a versatile, two-in-one pedal combining a dynamic, "classic" overdrive with an independent, clean boost circuit. Designed by Bob Bradshaw, it offers up to +20dB of clean boost and a wide-gain, touch-sensitive overdrive, making it suitable for blues to metal.

  • Independent Circuits: The boost and overdrive sections function independently, allowing for stacked tones or separate use.
  • Overdrive: Produces a warm, classic, and high-quality tone that adds sustain and punch without compromising the original tone, behaving similarly to a tube amplifier.
  • Boost: Delivers up to +20dB of clean, uncolored boost (the same circuit as the CAE-401) to push amps over the edge or boost solos.
  • Responsiveness: The overdrive section cleans up exceptionally well when reducing the guitar's volume knob, maintaining, and responding to, the player's dynamics.
  • Component Quality: High-quality components are used, ensuring low-noise, reliable performance with other pedals.
