MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive Pedal

MXR's Duke of Tone overdrive pedal is the regal heir to Analog Man's revered Prince of Tone stompbox, forged through a partnership with Analog Mike himself. Each of the Duke of Tone's through-hole components has been meticulously scrutinised and personally tested by Analog Mike to meet the precise standards of Analog Man's original creation. The result is a sublime, harmonically rich overdrive sound characterised by exceptional transparency.

While the Duke of Tone boasts a familiar 3-knob control layout for volume, tone, and gain – a hallmark of the stompbox world – its true brilliance emerges through a 3-way selector switch. This switch offers remarkable versatility, allowing you to attain a high-headroom boost that pairs seamlessly with another overdrive, a remarkably adaptable overdrive tone, or an all-out distortion frenzy. Regardless of your choice, the Duke of Tone preserves the subtle intricacies of your guitar and amplifier setup, providing a sonically rich experience.

The Duke of Tone boasts a 3-way switch that delivers a versatile spectrum of dirt tones:

• OD (Overdrive): Brimming with rich saturation and a dose of tube-style grit, this mode offers a broad range of medium-gain tones.

• Boost: Known for its transparency and ample headroom, this setting is ideal for stacking multiple OD pedals or pushing your amp into high-octane territory.

• Dist (Distortion): Taking the excellent features of Boost and OD modes and dialling them up to 11, this mode delivers a harmonic-rich aggression while preserving the unique character of your guitar and amp.
