MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ Effect Pedal

In tribute to the legacy of the guitarist, the MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ arrives as an exceptional encapsulation of the rock legend. Designed in collaboration with the Rhoads family, this slick, black Distortion+ embodies decades of a classic rock legacy in the making.

Randy Rhoads, famed guitarist for legendary acts Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne, made a distinct mark on the history of popular rock music in only a few short years. His classically-inspired passages and super-saturated melodies can be heard in early Quiet Riot records and the multi-platinum-selling Blizzard of Ozz, as well as across records influenced by Rhoads contemporary to him and beyond. Rhoads, a pioneer of the virtuosic hard rock playing so famous today, can be identified in legacy across many spheres of music including now this special edition model of his most iconic distortion.

This Special Edition Distortion+ was painstakingly recreated from the original MXR Distortion+ owned by Rhoads. With help from the Rhoads family, MXR examined and brought to life a replica of the circuitry found in Rhoadss original Distortion+ model for fans of today to harness the same tube-like overdrive tonality made famous by Rhoads and his MXR effect. The streamlined two-dial setup famously found on the MXR Distortion+ appears here, designed to dial in faithful breakup for the best of high-octane leads and articulate riffing. This tonal package is topped off with a custom finish inspired by Rhoadss famous white polka-dotted Flying V to deliver a fully authentic pedal. An exclusive booklet and certificate of authenticity is included with this Distortion+ model.

With love from the Rhoads family and MXR, this special edition pays tribute to one of the most famously entwined pairs in rock history Randy Rhoads and his Distortion+.
