MXR and Custom Audio
Electronics founder Bob Bradshaw—two
names that have shaped the tones of the world's greatest
guitarists—join forces to bring you a dynamic
new line of pedals. The Boost/Overdrive and Boost pedals
are the first offerings in the series produced by MXR,
featuring the unique sonic stamp of legendary designer
Bob Bradshaw. Since 1980, CAE's innovative pedal designs
were made in limited quantities only for his select
clientele. When it was time to bring these pedals to
the masses, there was only one name he could trust
to deliver the same quality and standards that his
customers demand—MXR. Available only from Dunlop
Manufacturing, Inc., the world's leader in analog pedal
technology. MC-402 Boost/Overdrive The MC-402 Boost/Overdrive
offers the combination of a simple dynamic overdrive
and an independent clean boost circuit—all in
one compact pedal. The overdrive section is truly "classic",
adding warmth, sustain and punch, without coloring
your sound. It can go from a bluesy, slightly overdriven
sound to full-metal crunch with a twist of the gain
knob. The MC-402 also cleans up nicely when you roll
back your guitar volume, making it extremely touch
sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics, without
becoming thin sounding. The boost circuit alone is
a bonus, as it is the exact same circuit CAE has used
for years to solve a wide variety of signal conditioning
problems in major guitar systems. The MC-402's high
quality components provide quiet operation and trouble-free
interaction with other pedals on your board. In keeping
with the CAE tradition, the design is simple and straightforward,
with a minimum of controls—only what is necessary
to do the job.
