Op 2 september 2025 lanceert MXR de Randy Rhoads MXR Special Edition Distortion+.
Net zoals de vorige versie is deze RR104C een exacte kopie van de Distortion+ die Randy zelf gebruikte en heeft deze editie een ‘custom finish’ die geïnspireerd is op Randy's Flying V-stijl gitaar met een witte afwerking en pinstripe-accent.
De Randy Rhoads MXR Special Edition Distortion+ is een limited edition uitvoering waar éénmalig 5000 stuks van geproduceerd worden.
Elk pedaal is ook voorzien van een exclusief collectorsboekje.
A tribute to Randy Rhoads’ monumental legacy, this pedal has been painstakingly matched to the legend’s own MXR Distortion+ to recreate the same raw, overdriven tones heard on his most beloved hits.
Basic Operation.

Randy Rhoads MXR Special Edition Distortion+
In just a few short years, Randy Rhoads revolutionized the art of the rock 'n' roll guitar player, merging fluid, classically inspired legato passages and melodies with searing, violin-like leads and supersaturated
riffs. One of the most crucial components of this riveting sound was the MXR Distortion+—Randy harnessed its raw energy to slam his high-gain amplifier with a torrent of harmonics to create the
sonic signature that would etch an indelible mark on music history.
We celebrate his monumental legacy with this recreation of his own MXR Distortion+. For the first time in 42 years, the Rhoads family unveiled Randy’s pedalboard for the MXR design team at the family’s
music school in Los Angeles—the Musonia School of Music. There, history was made as the MXR design team carefully opened the pedalboard, closely inspecting and documenting all they could from this
rock ’n’ roll artifact. The engineers painstakingly spec'd Randy’s vintage Distortion+, with the direct involvement of sister Kathy Rhoads, and created this signature model to produce the same overdriven tones heard on Randy’s most beloved hits.
Inspired by a supersonic airliner he flew on while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne, Randy designed a Flying V-style guitar with a white finish and a pinstripe accent. That iconic instrument is the inspiration for this special edition of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+. Includes an exclusive collector's booklet. “We are very proud of and honored by this special signature pedal. It is a true tribute to Randy’s musical legacy.” —The Rhoads Family.
