Authentic Distortion for Iconic Rhoads Tone
For over 40 years, the MXR Distortion + has been a crucial part of Randy Rhoads' sound, used to slam his amplifiers and produce the harmonically rich distortion that became his trademark. The MXR RR104 Randy Rhoads Distortion + effects pedal has been carefully matched to Rhoads' own pedal to provide the same level of tube-like overdrive and sustain. Dial it in and you'll be transported back to the early '80s, unleashing screaming leads and crunchy power chords just like the legendary guitarist.
Specced by the Rhoads Family
To create an authentic tribute to Rhoads' monumental legacy, MXR worked directly with his family to replicate his vintage Distortion + pedal. Rhoads' sister Kathy Rhoads provided MXR's engineers access to his original pedalboard for the first time in decades, allowing them to carefully inspect and document every detail to precisely recreate his signature sound. The result is a pedal that looks, feels and sounds just like the one Rhoads used to record his most memorable solos and riffs.
Custom Graphics Honor a Rock Icon
The MXR RR104 Randy Rhoads Distortion + effects pedal features graphics inspired by Rhoads' legendary polka-dot Flying V guitar, with a classic '70s-era MXR logo and Rhoads' signature in his own handwriting. Together with its matched circuitry and controls, the custom design pays fitting tribute to one of rock's most influential guitarists. For any serious Rhoads fan or player chasing vintage '80s metal tone, the MXR RR104 Randy Rhoads Distortion + effects pedal deserves a spot on your pedalboard.
