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.

Distortion Pedals
Distortion pedals use stronger or more deliberate clipping than a typical overdrive, adding harmonics, compression and sustain. Some are voiced for amp-like crunch, others for high-gain rhythm or a deliberately abrasive texture. Gain, tone, presence, resonance and output controls determine how the pedal interacts with the amplifier and pickups; a blend or noise gate can preserve clarity in heavier settings. Placement changes the result, so check whether the design is intended to push an amp, run into a clean platform or feed a direct cabinet simulation.
