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

MXR

MXR’s first product was the Phase 90, released in 1972. Dunlop’s official MXR history traces the early line from that compact phaser to the Distortion+, Dyna Comp compressor and Blue Box octave fuzz—circuits that remain central reference points for the brand. JustPedals carries those classic families alongside the Carbon Copy analog delay, Micro Amp, Talk Box and bass effects. MXR’s range is deliberately broader than one effect category: compare the model number and version, especially where a classic circuit has later reissues, mini enclosures or expanded controls.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
