Key Features

• Simple Control – Shape your sound easily with the level and gain controls. Want to sound like Yngwie? Crank both knobs to the max.
• Signature Sound - While this overdrive is an absolute powerhouse with leads that sing, it still keeps all of its articulation so every note can be heard clearly. This pedal is truly versatile!

Working closely alongside Yngwie, the MXR design team created a circuit that delivers clarity, expressive dynamics, and rich harmonics—all perfectly tailored for his light-speed arpeggios, expressive vibrato, and big, bold riffs. The control setup is simple, with just Level and Gain knobs, but every adjustment you make will have a profound impact.

Yngwie Malmsteen’s groundbreaking playing style masterfully fuses neoclassical prowess with the raw energy of rock ’n’ roll. The MXR Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive is designed to ensure that both core elements shine through when it’s time to kick into high gear.

“This pedal is the culmination of 45+ years developing a sound that’s perfect in every possible way. I present to you: the MXR Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive. Prepare to be amazed.” —Yngwie J. Malmsteen
