Key Features
The MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive is designed to elevate the natural sound of your guitar, offering the warm, rich resonance reminiscent of classic tube amplifiers. Featuring MOSFET technology, this pedal provides a spectrum of sonic enhancements, from a transparent boost with lush sustain to a smooth, velvety overdrive. Its streamlined controls include a 3-band EQ and dual-mode functionality, allowing for extensive sound tailoring without compromising the original tone.
Equipped with a low impedance output driver, the Gran Torino preserves signal integrity even through long effects chains. The pedal is versatile in power compatibility, running efficiently on a standard 9-volt battery or external power supply. With its robust build and subtle aesthetic, the Gran Torino Boost Overdrive is an essential tool for guitarists seeking to enrich their sound with authenticity and depth.

The MXR Gran Torino Boost Overdrive harnesses advanced MOSFET technology to ensure a pure, amplifier-like tone. This technology stands out by mimicking the warm and responsive characteristics of classic tube amps, providing a sound that is both rich and vibrant. Guitarists can enjoy the clarity of their instrument's natural sound, enhanced with a smooth, analogue warmth that does not compromise on the quality or dynamics of the original signal.
This pedal offers exceptional versatility through its dual-mode functionality, which allows musicians to switch between Boost and Overdrive modes. The Boost mode maintains the integrity of the original signal while providing a clean lift to the guitar's output, ideal for solos or when an extra push is needed. Conversely, the Overdrive mode delivers a soft, tube-like distortion that adds a mellow, yet impactful character to the overall sound, perfect for styles that benefit from a more saturated tone.
Precision is key in sound shaping, and the Gran Torino Boost Overdrive excels with its built-in three-band EQ. This feature offers musicians complete control over their tonal output, allowing them to fine-tune the bass, mid, and treble frequencies. Whether cutting through the mix or laying back for a rhythm section, guitarists can sculpt their sound to suit any musical context or personal preference, ensuring their tone always sits perfectly within the performance.
Designed for maximum efficiency, the Gran Torino operates with a remarkably low current draw of just 4.7 mA, making it an economical choice in any pedal setup. This low power consumption not only prolongs the life of battery operation but also ensures that the pedal can perform consistently and reliably during long sessions. Compatible with standard 9-volt batteries or DC adapters, it offers practical flexibility for both studio and live environments.
