MXR Duke of Tone

Designed in conjunction with indie pedal builder Analog Man, the MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive is for players who want to add a touch of warmth and grit to their rig while allowing the natural tone and feel of their high-end gear to shine.  The Duke of Tone’s through-hole components were personally tested by Analog Mike to meet the exacting specifications of the Analog Man original. The result is a rich, harmonic-laden dirt sound with maximum transparency. A standard 3-knob control layout will be familiar to any stompbox aficionado, but the Duke of Tone truly shines with its 3-way selector switch. Looking for a high-headroom boost to stack with another OD? How about an amazingly versatile overdrive tone? Full-on distortion? The Duke of Tone does it all while retaining each and every subtle nuance of your setup’s guitar and amplifier tone.

3-way OD/Boost/Dist switch

Don’t be fooled by the Duke of Tone’s compact size — this little pedal is built to cover the entire sonic spectrum of dirt! Its 3-way switch contains OD, Boost, and Distortion settings to set your tonal attitude.

• OD: Overdrive mode is packed to the brim with rich saturation and plenty of tube-style grit! This mode is an incredibly versatile OD that runs the gamut of medium-gain tones. 
• Boost: This setting is the most transparent and boasts a huge headroom. An  excellent choice when stacking multiple OD pedals or giving your amp a final push into high-octane territory.
• Dist: Distortion mode takes everything great about the Boost and OD modes, then cranks it up to 11, offering a harmonic-rich aggression that perfectly retains your guitar and amp’s distinct character.
