The MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion is a factory-modded pedal that uses intuitive design to deliver huge distortion with versatile switching options. Featuring an innovative circuit that utilises both silicone diodes and LEDs to generate clipping this is a new breed of distortion pedal. Switch between either clipping type with the Crunch switch for versatile tonal options. The LED clipping is slightly softer so you can also boost harmonic content by activating this switch. Use this alongside the classic control trio- Output Tone and Distortion to unlock mammoth distorted tones.

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.
