Mxr MC402 Boost/Overdrive

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>MC402 CAE Boost/Overdrive</strong> is the <strong>booster and overdrive pedal</strong> made by <strong><a href="https://www.algameko.com/it/brands/mxr">MXR</a></strong> in collaboration with Custom Audio Electronics, combining the famous Boost/Line Driver circuit with a dynamic and incisive overdrive circuit.</h1><h2>OVERVIEW OF THE MXR MC402 CAE BOOST/OVERDRIVE</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>MC402 CAE Boost/Overdrive</strong> offers the combination of a simple dynamic overdrive and an independent clean boost circuit, all in a compact pedal. The overdrive section adds warmth, sustain, and punch without coloring the sound. It allows you to go from a typical blues overdrive sound to a crunch suitable even for metal by simply turning the gain knob. The MC402 remains clean even when you turn down the guitar's volume knob, making it extremely sensitive to touch and pick dynamics without losing body. The boost circuit is the same one that CAE has used for years to solve signal conditioning problems in numerous guitar systems. The high-quality components of the MC402 ensure quiet operation and allow it to integrate well with other pedals.</p><h2>CONTROLS OF THE MXR MC402 CAE BOOST/OVERDRIVE</h2><p><strong>Boost:</strong> controls the amount of clean boost<br /><strong>Output:</strong> controls the overall volume of the overdrive<br /><strong>Tone:</strong> adjusts the color of the distorted signal<br /><strong>Gain:</strong> controls the amount of distortion<br /><strong>Boost (footswitch):</strong> activates or bypasses the boost (the blue LED indicates that the boost is active)<br /><strong>Overdrive (footswitch):</strong> activates or bypasses the overdrive (the red LED indicates that the overdrive is active)</p><h2>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF THE MXR MC402 CAE BOOST/OVERDRIVE</h2><p><strong>Input Impedance:</strong> 1 k&Omega;<br /><strong>Output Impedance:</strong> &lt;150 k&Omega; (Boost ON), &lt;15 k&Omega; (Overdrive ON/Boost OFF)<br /><strong>Boost Gain:</strong> 20 dB<br /><strong>Signal-to-Noise Ratio:</strong> &gt;87 dB<br /><strong>Bypass:</strong> True Hardwire<br /><strong>Current Draw:</strong> &lt;5.5 mA<br /><strong>Power Supply:</strong> 9 volt DC</p>
