I finally got my new guitar pedal this week. It is the MXR Classic Overdrive. It is in a special anniversary edition housing, changing the original housing color from green with white lettering to tan with green lettering- that adds no sound enhancement, but its neat because its different.
The sound: awesome. It creates a warm, bluesy feel that is insanely easy to tweak. I'm a fan of simple- and 3 knobs is simple. Right now it is in front of the Line 6 POD, which I'm using for the amps and delay. But I cannot wait until I get a new delay pedal and start building my board! (looking for suggestions!) I really like the Carbon Copy, but don't a pedal board filled of MXR's, and I won't have a very big board. Also thinking of the Memory Boy Deluxe, because of the Tap Delay.
This pedal is a steal. The 'Retail price' is $149- but I have never found it anywhere for that price. I have always seen it for around $40-$50 bucks. For the money- it is an amazing pedal. And in my opinion (the opinion that hasn't tried every pedal out there)- the MXR Classic Overdrive is an amazing pedal that would be a staple on any pedalboard.
