MXR

MXR, a renowned brand in the world of guitar effects pedals, was founded in 1972 by Keith Barr and Terry Sherwood in Rochester, New York. The company quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality, durable pedals with straightforward designs that delivered exceptional sound.

MXR’s early success was largely due to the introduction of iconic pedals such as the Phase 90, a phaser pedal that became a staple in the setups of many famous guitarists, including Eddie Van Halen. Another significant product was the Distortion +, which provided a rich, creamy overdrive that appealed to a wide range of musicians.

Over the years, MXR expanded its product line to include various effects such as delay, chorus, flanger, and compressor pedals. The company’s commitment to innovation and quality has ensured that MXR remains a trusted name among guitarists and bassists.

In the 1980s, MXR was acquired by Jim Dunlop, who continued to build on the brand’s legacy by introducing new models and reissuing classic pedals with modern improvements. Today, MXR pedals are known for their reliability, robust construction, and ability to enhance the tonal palette of any musician.

MXR bass pedals are labelled as MXR Bass Innovations.
