www.ProGuitarShop.com - MRD is a high-gain distortion pedal, which was modelled after the 80's style compressed gain sounds. It is extremely easy (and lot of fun) to play, because its texture is adjusted to give clarity and definition also at heavy distortion. Gain range allows also low distortion sounds as well as stacking with other pedals, where an overdrive (preferably MP LGW) can pre-drive MRD for extreme and highly focused sounds. To get these gain levels with their impressive signal to noise ratio, we didn't use any noise gate or expander. Instead, we used special amplifier techniques and extreme low noise amplifier stages, which result in a natural decay and a rather high current consumption for a distortion pedal in view of battery operation.

MRD has that 80's sound many have longed for but never got before at such low noise levels and versatility. The Presence control was designed to control the upper treble, but not to affect the upper midrange, so that you can get the exact treble you desire. You can master anything from fat warm singing distortion to screaming cutting leads with the MRD's Presence control.

  • Which of these distortions are the best: Mad Professor Mighty Red Distortion, Vox satchurator, MI audio crunch box,marshall guvnor, or the dunlop mxr distorton III?

    I am looking to get a good distortion, but with not so much low end. Also, I wanted something high gain, without sounding harsh or gritty. Also, I wanted the pedal to be affordable.

  • The best way to get an honest answer is to include your guitar and amp setup :)

  • @ProGuitarShopDemos Ok, I got a Les Paul and a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 2x12... and I can't decide between a Mad Professor Mighty Red, a MI Audio Crunch Box or an OCD...

  • @BekkersBelly The Mighty red is pretty Marshall-y and compressed. The Crunch Box has a heavy emphasis on mids, which would suit you if you're into classic rock. The OCD is a little rattier like an 18 watt Marshall but can also be used as a clean boost. Honestly, the best way to decide is to try them all with your rig. We have a 60 day return policy for this exact reason. Good luck,

    PGS

  • YEYAH HIT THE LIGHTS!!!

  • Hey,

    I really like the sound of this pedal and was wondering if you can recommend something similar that's not as pricey. I'm looking for a nice rock distortion, not too metal yet still with that punch but also less treble. Of course considering the limitations of my set-up. Anything around similar this pedal?

  • Would it be a good distortion if I use an American Standard Telecaster and a Gibson Explorer with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe? Thanks!

  • Hey, I got a question about distortion pedals: I seek a pedal that can provide sufficient distortion for stuff like Metallica, Dream Theater, Pantera and Megadeth. My gear is a Schecter Hellraiser C-1 FR and a Marshall MG50FX. Could you give me some advice? Thanks in advance!
