Uno dei pedali distorsione originali dal 1979 con un semplice design a due manopole, che produce una distorsione soft-clipping al germanio levigata con risposta dinamica musicale.
The MXR M104 Distortion+ is a pillar of pedalboard history, and for good reason. Its signature sound"defined by germanium clipping diodes"occupies a unique space between a fuzzy overdrive and a hard-clipping distortion. Unlike modern high-gain units, the 'D+' offers a grainy, vintage texture that feels organic and highly responsive to your guitar's volume pot. The build is classic MXR: a rugged, compact enclosure that can withstand decades of abuse. However, players should be aware of its quirks. The output level is notoriously low; you'll often find yourself cranking the Output knob past 3 o'clock just to hit unity gain. Additionally, the lack of a dedicated tone control means your EQ is at the mercy of the pedal's inherent mid-forward, slightly rolled-off top end. While it might lack the versatility of a boutique multi-stage drive, its simplicity is its strength. It excels at pushing a tube amp into classic 80s hard rock territory or providing the foundation for a gritty punk tone. For its price point, it's an essential 'flavor' pedal that every serious player should experience. It isn't a 'do-it-all' distortion, but what it does"that warm, compressed, vintage crunch"it does with undeniable soul.
