Oggyswain Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Does anyone have a suggestion for getting an MXR Distortion+ sound? I have always loved this distortion pedal. It was never very popular and I have never seen anyone else using it but I have always loved the sound. Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Are you referring to this one? https://reverb.com/item/1614216-mxr-m-104-distortion-mint If you mean that one, I'd have to say it was pretty solidly popular. The design of the original is pretty close to a DOD OD-250. They are not EXACT - but pretty close. Personally, I prefer the DOD (not knocking the MXR). I'd mess around with the "Top Secret OD" which is the Helix version of that, and see if you can dial in what you're looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggyswain Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 That is one and the same. I will try that thanks. Is there a list of Helix effects and what their real counterparts are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilrahi Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My favorite site is this one because it has nice blurbs and backgrounds on the models the Helix are based on: https://helixhelp.com/ However, there are more concise lists out there and some are even available as posts further back on this page, but unfortunately I tried searching for them and couldn't find them. I do know that, for right now anyway, the HX Stomp user manual has all of the current amps and effects listed on pages 19 - 27. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brue58ski Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The KWB distortion is the kowloon walled bunny pedal which I understand is based on an MXR Distortion +. http://www.benadrian.com/pedals/kwb.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
