Description

The MXR M94SE Super Badass Distortion is a high-gain distortion pedal from MXR by Jim Dunlop, delivering wide-range distortion with a three-band active EQ and a broad gain spectrum covering everything from medium overdrive to extreme distortion. The Super Badass is designed to cover the widest possible range of drive styles in a single enclosure, suited to both classic rock and modern high-gain applications. Internal DIP switches allow clipping diode selection between different clipping characters including hard silicon clipping and softer asymmetric options, enabling circuit-level voicing customization.

The MXR M69P Prime Distortion is an updated version of MXR's classic M69 Prime Distortion, a hard-clipping op-amp distortion pedal delivering aggressive, harmonically rich distortion suited to rock and heavy playing. The M69 Prime is part of MXR's classic distortion lineage that includes the Distortion+ and related op-amp-based designs.
