Manufacturer's Description for MXR M151 Doubleshot Distortion Pedal

MXR M151 Doubleshot Distortion Pedal
There was a time when the MXR Distortion+ was the only distortion box that mattered. It was seen on stages worldwide and heard on hundreds of timeless recordings. Building on that proud history, MXR introduces an instant classic, the M-151 Doubleshot Distortion. With two distinct channels, huge output, and incredibly quiet operation, this pedal redefines what a distortion box should be. Dial in blues-approved grind or thick, old-school lead tones on one side. Then, with the touch of a button, call up bottom-heavy modern metal sounds or radically-EQed future fuzz.

But the options don't stop there. Independent gain and EQ controls give you complete control over both sides of this pedal's split personality. You can set up the Double-Shot to go from an in-the-pocket chord part to an over-the-top lead line. Or toggle between two unique solo tones. Or switch between two drastically different rhythm tones. Get all your gain from the pedal or use its massive output to get screaming overdrive from your amp. And no matter how dirty you run the Doubleshot, all the subtle details and dynamics of your playing will come through. If you can imagine it, the Double-Shot can make it a reality-a gloriously distorted reality. zZounds is an authorized dealer of MXR products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Freaking Amazong!"

Sound: Great sound out of this pedal. I play with 4 wound strings tuned to drop A. with a 60 gauge low string and a 15 gauge high it was hard to find something that didnt mud over and sound sloppy. Right now Im running it though an old Hughes and Kettner Attax series amp and it took a long time before I a distortion pedal I liked more than my standard built in distortion. This one covers both of my styles of playing. Any thing from low end coal chamber style palm muting on the second channel to lead style pantera-ish style on the first channel. Extreme difference in the sound of each channel and the focus buttons give even more of an adaptable sound to any style. Feature: The only complaint that I have for this pedal is that it takes some getting used to and for best results it needs to be at a medium to high volume setting. At low volumes you can't really hear how good the double shot really works.IT IS NOT A PEDAL YOU CAN RUN THE GAIN TO THE TOP AND EXPECT IT TO WORK PROPERLY. I made that mistake cause thats how I had my amp set up originally. After taking a couple days of adjusting I got used to it and this pedal is freaking amazing. Quality: Well built and seems like it will stand up for a long time. Value: 1 of my favorite pedals and sounds great in combo with my Chorus Ensamble pedal. Manufacturer Support: Actually I don't really know cause I haven't had to use it. The Wow Factor: I love it and I won't use another distortion. After tring the highly recommended Metal Zone and some other pedals I was about to give up on distortion pedals. Then I was introduced to the double shot. Overall: Try one and take the time to learn how to use it and you can't be disappointed.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Almost perfect, but..."

Sound: Very loud pedal. Not excessively noisy, but difficult to control at bedroom levels. I was trying to achieve a Tubescreamer sound on the first channel and a Marshall stack on the other. I got close, but both sounds seemed a bit compressed and quacky. I am playing a Fender 50's Reissue with Van Zandt pickups through a Mesa Boogie DC-2 combo. The Boogie may have been over coloring my sound... Feature: This is the exact setup I wanted. Two channels with completely separate eq's. Why don't more effects companies think like this? Quality: Built like a fricken' tank! One of the little buttons broke off prior to me picking it up used, but I simply replaced it with the cap of a ballpoint pen. Works like a charm now! Value: Had to search around to get the price down around $100, but found a good deal on ebay. Manufacturer Support: Never had to mess with them, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt since they build these things so solid. The Wow Factor: Definitely has a VooDoo aura about it. Overall: I'm actually selling it. I have the extreme sound from my Boogie, and just need a simple blues and AC/DC sound. Thinking of going with a Radial Tonebone Classic or maybe a Tech21 Sansamp Tri-O.D.

Style of Music: Blues and Progressive Rock
