    MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion

    • I love the way it looks and the versatile sounds.
    • Still, I needed a Distortion that could cover of the Marshall sound-like roar JCM-800... and this guy did the job
    • Great sound that won't break the bank
    • Great sound.
    • Great sound, very 70's
    • I ran it into my dual gain amp and it just muddied the sound up
    • I mean i suppose if you're looking for some modern thrash sound (great for blues-based modern metal) you'll wanna look elsewhere, or if you're looking for a really clean jazz or blues distortion to throw a lil' hoodoo on your sound without a whole lotta power
    • Like the name implies some very cool sounding 70's distortions, not overbearing so your pickups and amp tone still stay in their, I like the mod switch in the top left corner, sounds good with my compressor infront (MXR).
    • The sounds are good, the crunch button is cool
    • Even the crunch button is just a louder sound?

    • The sounds of this pedal lean more towards the overdrive than distortion.
    • Love, love, love the sounds from this pedal.
    • Very Old school and sounds good on heavy distortion and when you back off of the distortion it has a very clean rhythm sound..............
