MXR Dookie Drive 30th Anniversary is the sound of Billie Joe Armstrong from the album Dookie in a compact format with a simple user interface.

Billie Joe Armstrong’s guitar tone on Green Day’s groundbreaking album Dookie sounded dirty and punchy, with the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He got that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers—one scooped with a ton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band blended the two signals together in different ratios to match the vibe of each track.

The Dookie Drive captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. We borrowed his amps so that the MXR team could carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After much analysis and A/B testing, our engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit them into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal isn’t just for Green Day fans—it’s a totally unique pedal that provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special edition features an all-new finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie’s monumental release in 1994.

The pedal is powered by a standard power supply (not included) or a battery and it is a limited edition.

Brand

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.
