About the Distortion+
The MXR Distortion+ is a simple but brilliant germanium-based distortion pedal with just two controls: output and distortion. Randy Rhoads and Slash used it to add saturation and midrange presence to their Marshall rigs — not for standalone distortion but as a gain boost that enhanced their amp's natural character. Its warm, slightly soft-clipping character is unmistakably 1970s rock.
