In just a few short years, Randy Rhoads revolutionized the art of the rock 'n' roll guitar player, merging fluid, classically inspired legato passages and melodies with searing, violin-like leads and super-saturated riffs. One of the most crucial components of this riveting sound was the MXR Distortion+. Randy harnessed its raw energy to slam his high-gain amplifier with a torrent of harmonics to create the sonic signature that would etch an indelible mark on music history.
MXR is celebrating his monumental legacy with this recreation of his own MXR Distortion+. For the first time in 42 years, the Rhoads family unveiled Randy’s pedalboard for the MXR design team at the family’s music school in Los Angeles - the Musonia School of Music. There, history was made as the MXR design team carefully opened the pedalboard, closely inspecting and documenting all they could from this rock ’n’ roll artifact. The engineers painstakingly spec'd Randy’s vintage Distortion+, with the direct involvement of sister Kathy Rhoads, and created this signature model to produce the same overdriven tones heard on Randy’s most beloved hits.
Inspired by a supersonic airliner he flew on while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne, Randy designed a Flying V-style guitar with a white finish and a pinstripe accent. That iconic instrument is the inspiration for this special edition of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+. Includes an exclusive collector's booklet.
This pedal is powered by a single 9-volt battery (remove bottom plate to install), a 9-volt AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003/ECB003EU, or an MXR Brick Series power supply.
