A good overdrive pedal should be an absolute minimum requirement in any guitarists’ arsenal. Fortunately for us, MXR have announced a new addition to it’s Custom Badass range; the Modified Overdrive.
Hot off the back of the successful ’78 Distortion Pedal comes the new Modified Overdrive pedal from MXR, which features a classic overdrive circuit with modern modifications.
The pedal features a 100HZ cut and boost control that allows for a more focused EQ when cut, or a beefier tone when boosted. The Bump switch engages an alternate EQ voicing that boosts the lows and mids.
The MXR blog features an interview with Bob Cedro and Bryan Kehoe providing insight into “The Inside Story on the MXR Custom Badass Modified O.D.“. This is a great little interview and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. In addition, check out the video below featuring some of the tones we can expect from the pedal – on this basis alone, I’m really looking forward to trying one out in the flesh.
