The MXR M78 Custom Badass 78 Distortion Guitar Pedal is in New condition and made by MXR , it is a great Pedal Guitar Distortion 78 Badass Custom M78 MXR Guitar Effect Pedal – The MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion is a factory-modded pedal that uses intuitive design to deliver huge distortion with versatile switching options. Featuring an innovative circuit that utilises both silicone diodes and LEDs to generate clipping this is a new breed of distortion pedal. Switch between either clipping type with the Crunch switch for versatile tonal options. The LED clipping is slightly softer so you can also boost harmonic content by activating this switch. Use this alongside the classic control trio- Output Tone and Distortion to unlock mammoth distorted tones. . Available from Guitar Pedals Amps & Stuff for only £ 117 – Hot-rodded performance MXR took a classic distortion circuit and hot-rodded it to the next level for over-the-top soaring leads and rich saturated rhythms with the MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion Guitar Pedal. The 78 Distortions thick gnarly tone sounds great whether its in front of a clean amp a slightly dirty amp or a amp soaked in gain. Under the hood this high performance machine features ingenious circuitry choices and hardware designed for a lifetime of use. Clever circuitry The 470R resistor between the pairs of diodes is a magic addition to the circuit. It limits their clipping action and makes sure the signal can still continue to rise until the LEDs kick in. This delivers the same final degree of clipping but with an earlier start and a more gradual bend. This makes for a smoother response which brings out more harmonic content. Now thats intelligent design- clever use of basic parts not mystical magic components!

Distortion is a guitar effect that alters the signal’s waveform, creating a gritty, aggressive sound characterized by a high level of harmonic content and sustain. It’s achieved by amplifying the input signal to the point where the amplifier or pedal’s circuitry begins to clip, causing the waveform to become squared off and jagged. This clipping produces harmonics that weren’t present in the original signal, resulting in the characteristic “gritty” or “dirty” tone associated with distortion. Distortion pedals typically feature controls for adjusting the amount of gain or distortion applied, as well as tone-shaping knobs to tailor the sound’s frequency response. Distortion is widely used in rock, metal, and punk music to add power, aggression, and sustain to guitar solos, riffs, and rhythm parts, creating a bold and intense sonic impact in the mix. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, and Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.
