MXR M104 Distortion+ Pedal

The MXR M104 Distortion+ is the pedal that put MXR on the map — an analog, germanium-clipped overdrive/distortion circuit prized for tone that stays musical from a subtle blues crunch all the way to thick, saturated '80s hard rock distortion. Its simple two-knob layout keeps tone-shaping fast and intuitive, while true hardwire bypass means your signal stays untouched when the effect is off.
