MXR M78 Custom Badass '78 Distortion
The first in a line from the MXR Custom Badass design team, the MXR Custom Badass '78 Distortion is a factory-modded pedal that roars with huge amp stack tones and old school tube amp-like distortion.
We took a classic distortion circuit and hot-rodded it to the next level for over-the-top soaring leads and rich, saturated rhythms. With only three knobs, dialing in Badass tone is a cinch. The CRUNCH button allows you to choose between two different modes of diode and LED clipping, boosting the harmonic content of the distortion.
The '78 Distortion's wide open amp-like sound sounds great whether it's in front of a clean amp, a slightly dirty amp, or a full on overdriven amp. Under the hood, this high performance machine features top notch circuitry and hardware meant for a lifetime of use.

What distortion should I get if I play everything from Classic Rock style all the way to Ozzy Osbourne to Avenged Sevenfold? I already have a Zakk Wylde Overdrive. I have a Fender 25r stock for my amp.

I just picked this pedal up last weekend. It's pretty awesome and I'm having fun with it. You definitely can't beat the price. Great for musicians on a budget.

one of the best pedal demos i've ever seen

@AlexTheGuitarMan You'd be better off with an overdrive, not a distortion.
