If you're going to describe your product as super and badass, you had better be able to back up such a claim! American pedal giants MXR have done exactly that with the Super Badass Dynamic Overdrive!

Based around MOSFET clipping diodes, the Super Badass Dynamic Overdrive covers a wide range of overdrive tones from edge-of-breakup cleans to full-throttle vintage high gain. It has everything you need to add a little extra bite to your tone without sacrificing your existing dynamics. When used with your amp's clean channel, the SBDO delivers a smooth purr which is incredibly responsive to your guitar's volume control. Alternatively, use it to push your already overdriven amp over the edge, and now you're cooking! 

The onboard controls for Output, Tone and Gain are simple but extremely versatile, giving you all the tools to dial in your perfect tone. The Boost/Cut switch allows you to bump up the overall level whilst adding some extra mid-range, or drop everything down a notch. All that's left then is to put the pedal to the metal and let that engine roar!

Key Features

  • Add extra bite to any rig while preserving your tonal dynamics
  • MOSFET clipping diodes for smooth, purring overdrive
  • Shift gears from a nice, clean boost to vintage high grain grind
  • Boost/Cut switch bump the whole signal with a little extra midrange or drops everything down a notch
  • The perfect pedal for taking your warmed up tube amp over the finish line

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
