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 Pedals

Overdrive pedals add controlled clipping and harmonics while retaining more of the instrument’s attack and dynamics than heavier distortion. They can simulate a pushed valve amp, add a mid lift, tighten the low end or provide a lower-gain always-on voice. Gain, tone, output, presence, bass and clipping options determine how the pedal responds to pickups and the next stage. Before choosing, decide whether it should clean up from the guitar volume, stack with another drive or feed an already driven amplifier.
