Behold, the MXR Distortion +. I recently came across a vintage one at a little known shop called Somewhere in Iowa guitars. They're real underground, and unfortunately going out of business. This little yellow box is perfect. It works as a overdrive pedal as much as a distortion, and boosts your amp that little extra amount to make it sound godly. From the second I stepped on this monster, I knew this was the one. I have an older model then the one shown here, But the owner dated it back to the eighties.
The main artist that I knew to use this was the late and great Randy Rhodes [for those whom are not in the know, was Ozzy Osborne's lead guitarist on his first two albums, among many other things I'm sure I'll blog on in the future.]
Currently listening to: Black Sabbath - Supernaut
[[funny story behind this track, It nearly lead to the split up of Sabbath back in 74' because Bill Ward was so fucked up on coke he couldn't get the beat down along with the fact that the band was going through a rough patch.]]
EDIT: This awesome post came to you from my old computer. A vintage 2000 Blue iMac. It's classy one click mouse and old lady compatible interface are pwnzorxz. My computer crashed on me because the of interwebs monster put a virus adware spyware thingy of doom on it. I'm going to try to cntrl alt dlt the spyware program before it dies. It's like space invaders too when the popups shoot out and you have to click all twenty of them real fast like. If only it had the cool music.
. I'm not sure whats worse, this processor that loads half an image every 20 seconds or the pop-ups on my dying PC. Either way this sucks, and I think maybe I can do it this time.
