Information
MXR
In the middle ranges of the Output and Distortion controls, you'll find soft-clipped distortion tones that sound truly retro-authentic, especially when they're mixed with a splash of reverb. Pushing Distortion up higher produces classic fuzz tones that are finding their way onto an increasing number of albums. A welcome, enjoyable alternative to LA saturation and British crunch.
Power: Single 9 volt battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC adapter
Controls: Footswitch toggles effect on/bypass (red LED indicates on) Output knob sets total output gain Distortion knob adjusts ratio of clean signal with distortion.

| 2018-10-23 | tangyzizzle222 | Dunlop. Bought in 2005 new. | 10/10 | The first pedal I ever bought new. Blends well with other dirt boxes, accepts boost well. Mix mine with fuzzes. Great battery life!!! | I'd never speak badly of this thing I love it. |
