MXR DISTORTION PLUS + OD pedal DIY Clone - Marshall JCM 900 Gibson

[massimo52185]

yeah, my compliments-you remember to face frank gambale.continua così-pick ups emg-good sounds.I don't love the pick ups emg or similare, but I listen other guitarist and in this case the mxr have a good sound

[llew4]

can u plz give me da circuit diagram?

[gemather]

well done private tone, with good portion ambition

[Zakk5021]

SUCKS

[malrato7]

jejeje, well it is a clone, I didn't designed it. Just built it .... tell that to MXR/

[MrBrownStoners]

i would so totally pay 10 grand for that les paul! haha

[araziooo]

beddu si ca da facci....

[aznboyhottie93]

wow almost looks like my guitar haha Epiphone with emgs :P

[GroovyGuitar02]

sounds cool ! =D

[LeoRyan]

wow ese pedal en el limpio suena muy bien man cual es? es el dod?

[malrato7]

este es el MXR distortion+. En el canal limpio del 900 4100

[darthinfurnus]

DUDE! You're playing the guitar I've been looking for since I was 13 years old, an '88 Les Paul custom w/EMG's and that beautiful crimson finish. How much do you want for it? I haven't seen that guitar anywhere!

[uncpaul]

@darthinfurnus I have one $2k

[malrato7]

If your have 1MEG pot for level, you are pretty much stuck with havint to have the level all the way. You can try and replace the pots for 100K. I got it like that for a while and the output was more pronounced. If you are using Germanium Diodes, try replacing the diodes to IN4148 or red LED's, this will in turn provide more output , be ready for a change in tone with any of this mods. Good Luck.

[eclipseall1]

I have a distortion + and the output needs to be on full all the because its very low. Is your clone like that? Can any mods be done to fix this?

[stratman7000]

I think that this pedal sounds really well with a chorus pedal after. I build one myself way back but used 1n270 in assymetry and yes the distortion was over the top with added compression form the Diodes. I used a dual opamp OP270 very HIFI low noise. The volume knob 100kA is really hard to use I would recomend a 100kB for volume. It gives all the volume at 11 o'clock. ----This pedal does not work as a booster-- unless you change the diodes to LED's in assymetry

[223217456]

Hi. Wich diodes did you use in this pedal???

[malrato7]

Hi there, I used IN4148. In this video the pedal is completely stock except for the Pots. I used B100K for the Gain and A100K for the Level. I have since replace the Pots with 10K and 1M reverse for the gain. Check this new video to see how it sounds when used as a clean boost in front of the amp. Replacing the potentiometers,tamed the pedal a lot and turned it almost in a clean boost. The IC Opamp is a 741.

[malrato7]

You will get more distortion if using Germanium Diodes. The IN4148 will give you a cleaner sound. Using or adding LED's will clean the pedal even more.

[JohnJeevasingham]

Hi! Great tone! :-) Just wondering, did you get the circuit from TonePad? Coz I'm planning to build mine next week!

[malrato7]

Yep! I replaced the pots with 100k and it change the tone and the gain. Stock it is a great boost. It is a crunchy pedal. And a pretty easy build.

[JohnJeevasingham]

Oh, ok! Increasing the resistance for the Drive pot increases the R2/R1 gain factor for the opamp, and increasing the resistance for the Level gives more voltage drop across it, and hence more volume?

Thanks for the tip! :-)

[lancego30]

malrato7, it's your playing that is awesome i think. gadgets aid to make it better only

[malrato7]

Wow! I think this is the nicest comment I've received, thanks!

[BrewtalDamage]

dude nice playing, suena nice el pedalcito :P
