The sound of the MXR M104 Distortion Plus Guitar Effects Pedal is instantly familiar to so many guitarists. Warm and thick crunch makes for a delicious rock recipe and the MXR has plenty of that. So much that it was a personal favourite of Randy Rhoads Slash and Jerry Garcia. This pedal was the sound of 80s distortion and itll bring that attitude to your tone. Its versatility allows it to go far beyond the 80s though and can be dialled from a warm saturated crunch to thick gritty full-blown distortion. One of the first distortion pedals to utilise op-amps the famous 741 chip can generate a massive 46.5dB to bring your playing to life and stand above the mix. When you need some music muscle this is the distortion pedal to turn to.
Iconic Distortion Legendary amongst musicians and engineers in the industry the MXR M104 pedal is one of the most iconic distortion pedals to ever be manufactured. This reputation is well earned through tone alone rather than just celebrity endorsement. And that tone is ferocious. The hard clipping gives a thicker fuzzier tone than your average distortion pedal. The germanium diodes used to create this hard knee clipping also give a richer timbre to the sound and add slight compression to round off your tone nicely. Finally the c5 capacitor filters out the harsh high harmonic content making sure the tone is never shrill or treble-heavy; this means youre guaranteed a warm rounded tone with as much grit as you see fit. Output and Distortion Controls Keeping it simple. The two-knob layout makes dialling in a range of distorted tones quick and easy. Output simply sets your level so the volume of the distorted signal. Distortion is self-explanatory and sets the level of gain and the intensity of clipping. But while the controls may be simple you can still access a diverse range of distorted tones. Instantly rise above any mix. The general frequency response and the mid hump at 1.5kHz was specifically designed so once engaged youll punch through any ensemble even with the Distortion control cranked into fuzzy heaven.
