MXR M104 Distortion Plus Guitar Effects Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

Iconic Distortion

Legendary amongst musicians and engineers in the industry, the MXR M104 pedal is one of the most iconic distortion pedals to ever be manufactured. This reputation is well earned through tone alone, rather than just celebrity endorsement.

And that tone is ferocious. The hard clipping gives a thicker, fuzzier tone than your average distortion pedal. The germanium diodes used to create this hard knee clipping also give a richer timbre to the sound and add slight compression to round off your tone nicely. Finally, the c5 capacitor filters out the harsh high harmonic content making sure the tone is never shrill or treble-heavy; this means you're guaranteed a warm, rounded tone with as much grit as you see fit.

Output and Distortion Controls

Keeping it simple. The two-knob layout makes dialling in a range of distorted tones quick and easy. Output simply sets your level, so the volume of the distorted signal. Distortion is self-explanatory and sets the level of gain and the intensity of clipping. But while the controls may be simple, you can still access a diverse range of distorted tones.

Instantly rise above any mix. The general frequency response and the mid hump at 1.5kHz was specifically designed so once engaged you'll punch through any ensemble, even with the 'Distortion' control cranked into fuzzy heaven.
