About MXR

MXR, originally known for its innovative effects pedals, has become a cornerstone of the guitar and bass effects industry. Emerging from a small electronics repair shop in the early 1970s, the brand quickly gained a reputation for rugged construction and distinctive, often quirky, sounds. Today, MXR continues to be a go-to choice for players seeking reliable and characterful effects and increasingly, bass-specific solutions.
