Within a brief span, Randy Rhoads transformed the craft of rock 'n' roll guitarists, blending smooth, classically influenced legato phrases and melodies with intense, violin-esque leads and heavily saturated riffs.

A key element of this captivating sound was the MXR Distortion+.

Randy utilized its unrefined power to drive his high-gain amplifier with a deluge of harmonics, forging a sonic identity that left a permanent imprint on the annals of music.

It was there that history was made as the MXR design team meticulously opened the pedalboard, thoroughly examining and recording everything they could from this rock 'n' roll relic.

The engineers diligently replicated Randy’s vintage Distortion+, with the active participation of his sister Kathy Rhoads, and crafted this signature model to replicate the same overdriven, tube-like tones featured in Randy’s most cherished tracks.

Naturally, it is adorned with a custom finish that pays homage to Randy’s iconic guitar.
