Today, I am demoing a pedal straight off of my board, the MXR Classic Overdive. This small pedal packs a punch and has yet to let me down. The classic overdrive is actually the MXR GT-OD recased for a door buster item at Guitar Center’s recent Black Friday sale. For a guitarist on a budget, this is a great pedal for you.
This transparent overdrive gives a great volume/drive boost with low gain and heavy scoop that breaks up your amp enough to give you some crunch, but stays true to your clean tone.
My go-to pedal 75% of the time. Always on with my gain set at around 10 o’clock. I primarily use this pedal for slow worship songs, or at least I’ll start a song with the Classic Overdrive, then kick into something dirtier as the song progresses.
Here’s a short video where I focus more on the high end, switch pickups, and play a few chords at the end.

I think MXR is super under-rated. I have 2 MXR pedals on my board. I have the Custom ’78 BA Distortion and (the more famous) Carbon Copy. Great video!

Right? This pedal gives me such a hearty tone when rocking out and sounds so warm when playing with delays and reverbs.
