MXR sig RR Polkadot Disto +?

There is debate on whether he really had that mod done to all his Marshalls. My Bugera has the cascaded input and it gives you more grind but can be too much with the combination of pedal sauce that he had active. I'd say his stock Marshalls easily do the trick with the Distortion + and EQ as boosts. Then those altecs. The Altecs are the key and that has been said over and over again. That and his hands obviously.

My 1959RR is supposed to be taken from his personal amp. It has the “mod”. If you look at many of the pics amd live footage, he is plugged into the bottom left input. That would be the stock bright channel low gain input. My amp sounds awesome, but I never use the mod channel.

Um okay well we all have our opines about RR's tone from 50 years ago lol.
That & 15 peso's will get you a cup of joe in Cuba.
The polka dots is just marketing IMO. Never been impressed w/a D+.
I got 5 overdrives now and just sold 10 other pedals.
RR had alot of gear troubles on tour. When he played here 1/2 thru the show his amps crapped out and he walked off stage.
Didn't return either.

What venue did this happen at ? Blizzard or Diary tour ? From everything I’ve read about Randy that’s totally out of character. Did Ozzy make an announcement that the show was over ?
 
I have a Distortion + I have no plugged in over a decade. Funny a friend mentioned it the other day.
I always preferred the RAT or OCD.

yeah that's what has been said, he never used it
 
I think I'm going to do one .... with all the popular mods ....... matte black enclosure .... white polka dots ....

I just got a new stash of NOS Germanium diodes for the Chiron ... they will work perfect for this circuit .....

maybe I'll do a " naming contest " and give one away to the winner .....

fwiw Griff, the mods I was PM'ing about are:

* Input type toggle between "Pickup" or "Buffer"
* High Cut & Low Cut
* Diode Clipping Type 3-way Toggle Switch
* Mono or Stereo Out
 
I got impatient with the release of this pedal so i emailed them today and apparently it drops within the next few weeks..

The EQ curve from the 10 band is the real key here.

If it's just a D+ with polka dots, meh.

It would be nice to have a hipass/woof low end control too

I believe they are making it a tuned disto+. So to spec of his original but then tweaked, likely with some bass control baked into it to cut the woof.
 
I am seeing tonight that pre-order is also available. A little surprised that there are no switches on this thing. Missed opportunity for a gain setting switch or set EQ curve switch. Maybe internally.
