The MXR FOD Drive recreates the experience of blending the overdriven
sounds of two highly coveted amp stacks right from your pedalboard.
This
pedal can be powered by a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the DC
Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies (not included).
The
MXR FOD Drive supplies the overdriven power of two highly coveted amp
stacks in a single housing. Pros and tonechasers have been combining
amplifiers on stage and in the studio for years, blending their sounds
together and opening up new tonal palettes for exploration. Thanks to
MXR’s award-winning team of engineers, you can recreate that experience
right from your pedalboard.
The MXR team got their hands on a
pair of heavily customized guitar amplifiers of legendary make and
model, reveled in thunderous bliss, and then pulled them apart for
careful analysis. One of the amps was modified for super scooped
high-gain saturation, while the other was modified for punchy midrange
crunch. Played in tandem, the complementary tonal profiles revealed a
harmonically complex palette of grit, grind, and maxed-out overdrive
that sounded so incredible that the team knew they had to make it
available to players around the world.
The FOD Drive is the
result of their efforts. Painstakingly recreating each amplifier in
pedal circuit form, the MXR engineers fit them into a single housing as
separate channels—High Gain and Crunch Gain. Each channel has its own
Gain and Volume controls so that you can dial in just the right sonic
signature for each side. The Blend control then allows you to set the
mix ratio of the two signals—just like having two separate amps running
into a mixing box. The Tone knob sets the EQ for the overall output
signal, and the Scoop switch allows you to choose between flat, scooped,
or boosted midrange voices.
Get the MXR FOD Drive, and experience the invigorating potential of playing through two ripping amp stacks.
