MXRDuke of Tone Overdrive

Excellent pedal - I highly recommend!

Great, low-coloration OD tone, with boost and distortion modes. Stacks well with a BD-2, SD-1, and other ODs. Mini size makes it easy to incorporate into your pedal board. Very low power draw. And, just the right amount of fugly in the paint color. Great little drive pedal.

It does what it's advertised for. Nice sound in the OD or Boost position. Distortion position doesn't do much, but that what I was expecting. This circuit is suppose to give a "transparent" push to the sound, and my opinion, it accomplish that. If you need a Distortion pedal, take something more specific for your needs.

Designed with the master himself. What more do you need to know? It sounds amazing, and you have to keep in mind that the internal presence trim pot makes all the difference. I noticed that my copy had the trim pot set to 50% but the POT and KOT have them set at 0% out of the box. That's why all of these comparison videos don't do it justice. I have no problem with the mini form factor, and the footswitch is perfect on this. The blue LED on the front of the footswitch is also a nice touch. Open it up and take a look at how well it is built using quality parts.

A tubescreamer and one of these goes great with a tele and a fender amp.

This Overdrive is perfect for a country guitar rig and versatile enough for other genre's too.

I wasn’t able to uncover the “magic” in this pedal like others have found. I was able to achieve a nice overdrive in the boost and o/d settings, but I wouldn’t say that this pedal blew me away. I guess I was just expecting a little bit more relative to my other high end pedals. I do appreciate the tiny size and the Mxr/analogman collaboration concept of bringing an “analogman pedal” to the masses. I also have the Timmy and I like the Timmy more for what it’s worth- maybe not as many tonal options (gain wise) but I feel like it compliments my rig better than the duke...

Full of great tones!
