MXR DD30 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Dookie Drive Pedal

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Celebrate 30 years of the iconic Green Day record Dookie! MXR's Dookie Drive is a limited edition version boasting Billie Joe's unmistakable distortion tone.

Overview

Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar tone on Green Day's groundbreaking album Dookie sounded dirty and punchy with the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He got that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers--one scooped with a ton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band blended the two signals together in different ratios to match the vibe of each track.

The MXR Dookie Drive captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. MXR borrowed his amps so that their team could carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After much analysis and A/B testing, their engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit them into a single housing. The High Gain and Clean Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The MXR Dookie Drive isn't just for Green Day fans--this totally unique pedal provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special edition features a unique finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookie's monumental release in 1994.
