For precisely this, the MXR Micro has been the right thing for many years – without distorting the sound, the amp gets exactly the kick that was still missing; Ideal for bringing out the leading sound from old Marshalls, Fenders and Vöxen without distorting their beloved characteristic sound.

• Adjustable boost
• Perfect for switching between guitars with unmatched output
• Great for use with long signal chains, or anytime signal drop-off is a problem
• Knob for gain, status LED
• Hardwire bypass
• Sturdy metal housing
• Operation via optional 9V battery or optional 9V power supply unit (available under article nr 409939)

30. MXR MC-401

Effect

LA’s Sound guru Bob Bradshaw, who developed the Custom Audio pedals, has married MXR and so its quality treasures now run under this Name. The MC-401 Custom Audio Electronics Booster is the right solution for guitarists whose amp actually already has an optimal sound but could just use a bit more gain. Overdrives and treble booster would bend the frequency response, which is not always a desirable effect. The MXR has been getting it right for years – without distorting the sound it gives the amp just the kick that it was missing; ideal for bringing out old Marshalls, Fenders and Voxes, creating a strong lead sound without bending their beloved signature sound. Adjustable from 0 to 20 d.

• Adjustable from 0 to 20db boost
• Stable housing
• 1 Input and 1 output
• Status LED (optional Dunlop ECB-003 AC power supply)
