This is the Distortion Plus manufactured around 1980!
At the time, it was a groundbreaking product with its compact yet durable die-cast case and significantly extended battery life—a true MXR masterpiece. The simple controls, limited to drive and level, made it compatible with any amplifier or guitar, and its sound, which allowed for easy expression of picking nuances, was initially welcomed more by fusion musicians than rock musicians. Turning down the guitar's volume also produces a warm yet edgy distortion. The slightly rough, dry texture of the distortion is particularly notable, reminiscent of the hard rock sound of the 1970s, and it is said that Randy Rhoads sought this specific sound. The exterior also differs from previous and current models, featuring a textured surface on the case. Compared to current models, the low-end is emphasized, giving the sound a warmer feel, which is a characteristic of this era's models. Additionally, the distortion responds well to the guitar's volume control, allowing you to use it with a similar feel to plugging directly into an amp.
