Description

The MXR Custom Shop Raijin Drive Pedal is currently retailing at £149 and it is out of stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that MXR nailed it with the MXR Custom Shop Raijin Drive Pedal.

The Raijin is a newly designed pedal by the legendary Shin Suzuki and the MXR Custom Shop. It's the second time that the two have teamed up after the success of their Shin-Juku drive in 2016.

Versatile

The Raijin captures the essence of two of the original, famous Japanese drive and distortion pedals. The Raijin can go from mild drive to full blown distortion and everything in between and works as a two in one pedal!

The toggle switch which allow you to choose between the two types of tones and the drive is sensitive enough to go from dynamic drive to fat, harmonically rich drive tones.

Here's what MXR say about the Raijin Drive Pedal

Shin Suzuki is the most celebrated amp and pedal designer in Japan, renowned by tonechasers the world over for his ability to faithfully recreate some of the most elusive sounds in music history. As proprietor of Shin’s Music in Tokyo, he has cultivated an unfailing ear for incredible tones. In 2016, Shin collaborated with the MXR Custom Shop to create the Shin-Juku Drive, a pedal widely praised for the way it captured the raw sonic complexity of a rare amplifier with a legendary reputation.

Shin and the MXR Custom Shop have come together once again to create the Raijin Drive, a pedal that reinvents two iconic Japanese stompboxes—an overdrive and a distortion—with greater tonal range and usability so that those beloved sounds can keep up with the modern tone chase.

Shin designed both channels from scratch, honing in on the best qualities of the aforementioned pedals with his refined ear and then recreating them with a more versatile and responsive tonal palette. The overdrive signal is smooth, fat, and wide open while the distortion signal packs an aggressive, harmonically rich punch with just enough gain to get good and heavy. Each signal complements the voice of your instrument, allowing your unique tonal character to be the star of the mix. Alternating between the two is as simple as the flick of a switch. Level, Tone, and Drive controls make it super easy to dial in a great sound and start playing.

With classic Japanese overdrive and distortion sounds carefully tailored with enough sonic flexibility to please any connoisseur, the Raijin Drive is a must-have for your board. Getting them both in the same box makes this pedal a space-saving no-brainer.

Custom

Drive

Drive is a type of effect that adds gain and distortion to your instrument’s signal, typically to create a warm, overdriven tone. It’s commonly used to push an amp or pedal beyond its clean capacity, producing a richer, more saturated sound. Drive pedals are known for offering a range of tones, from light and subtle overdrive to full-on distortion, depending on the settings.

Drive pedals generally have controls for gain (which determines how much distortion is applied), tone (which adjusts the bass, mids, and treble), and volume (to balance the output level). They’re essential for genres like rock, blues, and metal, where varying degrees of overdrive are needed to enhance the musical performance. Popular drive pedals like the Ibanez Tube Screamer, Pro Co Rat, and Fulltone OCD are celebrated for their versatility, allowing players to shape their sound with precision while maintaining the character of their instrument.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
