The MXR Custom Audio Electronics MC-402 Boost/Overdrive offers a combination of a simple dynamic overdrive and an independent clean boost circuit in one compact pedal. The overdrive section adds warmth, sustain, and punch without coloring the sound, ranging from a bluesy, slightly overdriven sound to full- metal crunch with a twist of the gain knob. It cleans up nicely when rolling back the guitar volume, making it extremely touch-sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics without becoming thin sounding. The boost circuit is the exact same circuit CAE has used for years to solve a wide variety of signal conditioning problems in major guitar systems. The high-quality components provide quiet operation and trouble-free interaction with other pedals on the board. The design is simple and straightforward, with a minimum of controls, only what is necessary to do the job.
Technical Specifications:
- Power: 9V
- Bypass: True bypass
- Analog/Digital: Analog
The pedal can be powered by a 9-volt battery, a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
