M-104 Distortion+

The MXR M-104 Distortion+ is a true icon of the guitar effects world - a no-frills, pure-blooded distortion pedal that has been shaping the sound of rock and metal for over four decades. Designed by the legendary MXR engineers, this unassuming little box packs a ferocious punch, delivering a thick, saturated tone that can transform even the most pristine clean signal into a snarling, high-gain monster. At the heart of the Distortion+ is a simple but effective circuit that uses a single op-amp to generate a rich, harmonically complex distortion. Turn up the Distortion knob and you'll be rewarded with a thunderous, gain-drenched tone that's perfect for riffs, solos, and crushing power chords. The Tone control allows you to fine-tune the high-end response, cutting or boosting the treble to suit your playing style and guitar setup. What makes the Distortion+ so special is its ability to remain musical and responsive, even at the most extreme settings. Many distortion pedals can sound fizzy or compressed, but this MXR classic maintains a tight, articulate low-end and a touch-sensitive attack that allows your playing nuance to shine through. It's no wonder this pedal has been a favorite of iconic guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, who used it to craft his legendary high-gain tone. Whether you're looking to add some grit and aggression to your sound or you need a versatile distortion that can cover everything from classic rock to modern metal, the MXR M-104 Distortion+ is a must-have for any serious guitarist's pedalboard.
