MXR M94 Fat Sugar Overdrive Pedal

Sweet, syrupy drive with a bite—that’s the promise behind the MXR Fat Sugar, and it delivers in gloriously musical fashion. Housed in a slick, sparkle-finish pink shell, this compact stompbox doesn’t just look sharp—it sounds positively decadent, offering a tonal range that moves smoothly from a buttery clean boost to full-bodied overdrive with rich harmonic overtones.

This isn't your average drive pedal with one trick up its sleeve. The Fat Sugar is deceptively simple, but the moment you kick it in, you’ll feel that amp-like response—tight in the low end, smooth in the mids, and with just enough sparkle on top to cut through a mix. Whether you're stacking it into an amp on the edge or using it as a primary gain source, this pedal delivers warmth, texture, and definition without smearing your dynamics.

Its unique drive circuit starts by blending in your clean signal at the lower end of the dial, gradually morphing into chewy, tube-style breakup as you push it harder. It's like riding the gain control on a cranked amp, but in pedal form—ideal for blues players, classic rock tone chasers, or anyone looking to add tasteful grit without losing their core tone.

A hidden bonus? The internal voltage doubler quietly works behind the scenes to boost headroom, giving your notes room to breathe even when you're hitting it hard. And if you're picky about signal flow, the Fat Sugar includes a handy internal switch to toggle between true and buffered bypass, depending on what your rig needs.

At Musicmaker, we’re always drawn to pedals that combine real musicality with thoughtful design—and the Fat Sugar ticks both boxes. It's not just another overdrive. It's a feel-good, play-all-day kind of pedal that brings out the best in your guitar, your amp, and you.
