Used MXR Duke of Tone

The MXR Duke of Tone is a compact overdrive pedal developed in collaboration between MXR and Mike Piera of Analogman. It is a specialized, mini-pedal version of the Analogman Prince of Tone (which is the single-channel version of the legendary King of Tone).

Core Circuit and Sound

• Transparent Overdrive: The Duke of Tone is designed to be "transparent," meaning it adds gain and grit without drastically altering the natural EQ or character of your guitar and amplifier.
• Harmonic Richness: It is known for its musical, touch-sensitive response, allowing you to control the amount of breakup based on your picking dynamics and guitar volume knob.
• Analogman Collaboration: Mike Piera worked closely with MXR to select specific components that mimic the sound and feel of the original boutique units, ensuring the "Duke" retains the same warm, vintage-voiced clipping.
