The MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive effects pedal gives you a rich, natural overdrive tone that enhances your guitar's natural sound. Its simple, intuitive controls make it easy to dial in the amount of gain and overdrive you want. Choose between a clean boost or smooth overdrive with the Boost/OD switch. Shape your tone further with the 3-band EQ. This pedal's MOSFET technology delivers a responsive, touch-sensitive overdrive that compresses naturally, just like a tube amp. A Low Impedance Output Driver prevents signal loss so your tone stays full and strong, even through long effects chains.

Simple Controls, Rich Tone

With just a few knobs, the MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive gives you a range of overdriven tones to suit any style. Set the amount of gain and overdrive with the Gain and Master Volume knobs. The 3-band EQ provides tone shaping to match your guitar and amp. When you want a volume boost without distortion, flip the Boost/OD switch to Boost. For singing lead tones, switch to OD and increase the Gain. The MXR Gran Torino responds organically to your playing dynamics and guitar's volume knob.

MOSFET Technology Emulates Tube Sound

At the heart of the MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive is MOSFET technology that recreates the sound of tube amp overdrive. MOSFETs compress and saturate naturally in response to your playing for a rich, musical overdrive that enhances what's already great about your guitar tone. The overdrive feels touch-sensitive and responsive, allowing you to control the amount of overdrive with your guitar's volume knob. If you love tube amp overdrive but want more control and portability, the MXR Gran Torino delivers.

Low Impedance Output Preserves Your Tone

To ensure maximum tone and minimal signal loss, even through long effects chains, the MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive uses a Low Impedance Output Driver. This driver circuit provides a strong, low-impedance output signal that maintains clarity and strength. Your overdriven tone will sound full, articulate and defined, no matter how many other pedals come after the MXR Gran Torino.
