MXR
and Custom Audio Electronics founder Bob Bradshaw—two names that have shaped
the tones of the world's greatest guitarists—join forces to bring you a dynamic
new line of pedals.
The Boost/Overdrive and Boost pedals are the first
offerings in the series produced by MXR, featuring the unique sonic stamp of
legendary designer Bob Bradshaw. Since 1980, CAE's innovative pedal designs
were made in limited quantities only for his select clientele. When it was time
to bring these pedals to the masses, there was only one name he could trust to
deliver the same quality and standards that his customers demand—MXR. Available
only from Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc., the world's leader in analog pedal
technology.
MC-402 Boost/Overdrive The MC-402 Boost/Overdrive offers the
combination of a simple dynamic overdrive and an independent clean boost
circuit—all in one compact pedal.
The overdrive section is truly "classic",
adding warmth, sustain and punch, without coloring your sound. It can go from a
bluesy, slightly overdriven sound to full-metal crunch with a twist of the gain
knob.
The MC-402 also cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar volume,
making it extremely touch sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics, without
becoming thin sounding.
The boost circuit alone is a bonus, as it is the exact
same circuit CAE has used for years to solve a wide variety of signal
conditioning problems in major guitar systems. The MC-402's high quality
components provide quiet operation and trouble-free interaction with other
pedals on your board. In keeping with the CAE tradition, the design is simple
and straightforward, with a minimum of controls—only what is necessary to do
the job.
