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.

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.

Distortion Pedals
Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.
