MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ — Concorde Special Edition

MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Concorde Special Edition (RR104C) – In Stock

Own a piece of guitar history. The MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Concorde Special Edition faithfully recreates the exact Distortion+ circuit from Randy's own pedal and pairs it with a Concorde-inspired tribute finish—vintage white with pinstripes and gold accents. It's the classic Distortion+ push that helped define early '80s high-gain lead tone, wrapped in a collector-grade presentation.

• Authentic Randy-spec circuit: Carefully reverse-engineered from Randy's original Distortion+ for that raw, mid-forward boost and harmonic bite.
• Concorde tribute finish: Inspired by his legendary white Concorde guitar—clean, iconic, instantly recognizable.
• Collector presentation: Includes commemorative booklet and certificate of authenticity.
• Limited run release: A small-batch edition for players and Randy collectors alike.

The sound behind the legend. Randy used the Distortion+ to slam the front end of his amp, creating the saturated, violin-like sustain and aggressive riff tone heard on his most beloved recordings. This recreation captures that same feel: tight low end, singing upper mids, and a bold overdrive character that stacks beautifully with already-driven amps.

A true tribute piece. For the first time in decades, the Rhoads family opened Randy's original pedalboard for MXR's design team at the Musonia School of Music in Los Angeles. Every detail of his Distortion+ was documented and matched, with direct involvement from sister Kathy Rhoads, resulting in a signature model built to honor the pedal that helped shape his sound.
