MXR Randy Rhoads Concorde Distortion + Special Edition

MXR Randy Rhoads Concorde Distortion + Limited Edition 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.  We celebrate 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.  The first Concorde Jackson Guitar was originally inspired and designed by Randy after he flew on the Concorde Jet while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne. That iconic instrument is the inspiration for this special edition of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+. Includes an exclusive collector's booklet. “We are very proud of and honored by this special signature pedal. It is a true tribute to Randy’s musical legacy.” —The Rhoads Family Features Faithful recreation of the legendary Randy Rhoads distortion tone Custom “Concorde” limited-edition graphics honoring Randy’s legacy Classic Distortion + circuit with carefully voiced gain and output controls Vintage-style warmth with cutting high-end bite for lead work Compact, road-ready housing built to MXR’s rugged standards True bypass switching for pure signal integrity Limited production for collectors and tone aficionados Specifications Controls: Output, Distortion Bypass: True Hardwire Input Impedance: 1 MΩ Output Impedance: 10 kΩ Current Draw: 2 mA Power Supply: 9V battery or optional 9V DC adapter Dimensions: Standard MXR pedal enclosure Weight: Lightweight, portable design Finish: Limited edition Randy Rhoads Concorde graphics Why Buy from Tone Shop Guitars Authorized MXR dealer with full manufacturer warranty support Knowledgeable staff to answer your product and setup questions Fast, reliable shipping on all orders Competitive pricing on premium gear Dedicated after-sale support for your purchase
