MXR Custom Gran Torino Boost Overdrive harnesses MOSFET technology to amplify and enrich the natural sound of your rig with the the warm, organic sound of classic tube amps.

The pedal comes with a simple-yet-effective set of controls to shape its tone to complement your setup. Setup is easy—just dial in your desired Master volume and Gain levels, fine-tune it all with the 3-band EQ, and then choose your output mode with the BOOST/OD switch: Boost for cleaner notes and rich sustain, OD for smooth, mellow overdrive.

On top of that, this pedal uses a Class A Low Impedance Output Driver to preserve the integrity of your sound and prevent signal loss across long FX chains. The pedal is powered by a standard 9 volts power supply (not included) but also works with a 9 volts battery. Get the MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive for organic boosting and goosing that you can tweak to match any rig.

MXR

MXR is an American company founded in 1972 by Keith Barr and Terry Sherwood in Rochester, New York. The company specializes in the production of effect pedals for musical instruments, including the famous Phase 90, Distortion +, and Dyna Comp. In 1987, Dunlop Manufacturing acquired the trademark and continues to produce the original effect pedals, as well as new models such as the Carbon Copy and Fullbore Metal. MXR also has a line for bass guitarists, MXR Bass Innovations, with pedals like the Bass Octave Deluxe and Bass Envelope Filter. The MXR Custom Shop is responsible for recreating vintage models, such as the hand-wired Phase 45.

Effects pedals

Over the years, MXR has released various series of effect pedals, including the Reference Series (1973–1984), the Commande Series (1981–1984), and the 2000 Series (1982–1984). In 1983, it introduced one of the first multi-effect rack units for guitar and bass, the Omni, which combined six different effects: sustain, distortion, delay, equalizer, flanger, and chorus. Today, MXR remains a leading name in the music industry, known for its innovative and high-quality effect pedals used by musicians worldwide.
