MXR Doubleshot Distortion

Description

MXR produced one of the classic Distortions of all time, the Distortion+. The M-151 Double-Shot Distortion is the evolution of MXR’s original classic designs, engineered with today’s tones and much quieter than the vintage pedals. It features two distinct channel that let you dial in blues-approved grind or thick, old-school lead tones. With the touch of a button, you can select another channel for fat bottom modern metal sounds or radically-EQ’ed fuzz ones. This pedal features independent gain and EQ controls give you complete control over both sides of this pedal’s split personality. You can set up the Double-Shot to go from an in-the-pocket chord part to an over-the-top lead line. Or toggle between two unique solo tones. Or switch between two drastically different rhythm tones. Get all your gain from the pedal or use its massive output to get screaming overdrive from your amp. And no matter how dirty you run the Double-Shot, all the subtle details and dynamics of your playing will come through. Activating the Focus control alters the â€œQ” (bandwidth) of the bass filter, creating a slightly emphasized low-end and a mild midrange cut. This subtle, yet effective tonal shift lets you tailor the pedal for a variety of amp, guitar, and speaker combinations. Other features include glow in the dark labels and easy to read pointers for use on dark stages. Click here for an in-depth review at GP magazine.
