Description

Designed in conjunction with indie pedal builder Analog Man, the MXR Duke of Tone Overdrive is for players who want to add a touch of warmth and grit to their rig while allowing the natural tone and feel of their high-end gear to shine. Based on the Prince of Tone Overdrive, the single-channel version of the King of Tone Overdrive, this pedal is a vintage connoisseur’s dream come true. Analog Mike personally tested and matched all of the various thru-hole components to the King of Tone Overdrive, ensuring that sweet sonic seasoning stays in the line of succession: a warm-yet-clear-and-open sound that allows all of the nuances of your signal chain come through, from your individual guitar strings to the dynamics of your amp’s tubes. The Duke of Tone Overdrive likewise carries forward the same simple-yet-effective control interface. Volume, Drive, and Tone knobs cover all your basic tweaks while the Boost/OD/Distortion switch allows you to set the overall attitude of the pedal’s output. Boost mode gives you a clean-yet-vigorous bump, OD mode adds a touch of grit and compression, and Distortion mode adds a touch more of each. In all modes, your rig still sounds like your rig. Don’t be afraid to get creative—the Duke of Tone Overdrive is excellent when stacked with other gain pedals, and running the pedal on 18V will give you an extra helping of headroom and clarity, especially in Boost mode. For a sound that’s yours, but only more of it, you can’t do better than the Duke of Tone Overdrive from MXR and Analog Man. Put one on your pedalboard, and elevate your signal chain.

  • Phenomenal Pedal
This Overdrive is perfect for a country guitar rig and versatile enough for other genre's too.

  • A good pedal that probably won't add much to your current overdrive options.
I WANTED and TRIED to be dazzled by the MXR Duke of Tone. After all, I paid $150+ for it. It *IS* a good pedal (hence my 4 stars). But after trying it for about 90 minutes, I realized it added little (perhaps nothing) to my current arsenal of overdrive pedals (not one of which is out of the ordinary). For example, I happened to have a Boss Blues Driver later in the signal chain when trying the Duke and noticed that the Duke's OD option (there are three options: OD, Boost, Distortion) produced a sound barely distinguishable from the Blues Driver. At one point, while not looking at the pedals, I thought I was playing through one when I was playing through the other. The Duke's Boost option would be great for pushing an amp or another pedal into higher gain, but I have other, much cheaper, pedals that can do that just as well. Finally, the Duke's Distortion option was surprising; I assumed it would produce significantly higher gain/distortion than the OD option, but actually it sounds like a somewhat different overdrive pedal; what it produces doesn't seem to be what most people would call "distortion" (as against an "overdrive" sound). Conclusion: I'd say the Duke of Tone is "a good pedal, overall" but one that you might want to skip if you have some decent overdrive pedals already. If I lost my Duke of Tone, I definitely would not buy another. If I lost ALL my overdrive pedals, I would not buy it again. ... show more

  • A legendary boutique effect - now mass-produced (and micro-sized!)
I have to start my Duke of Tone (DoT) review by admitting that I've never owned or even played the King of Tone or Prince of Tone from Analogman. The King of Tone was a handmade, dual-switch boutique overdrive by Analogman founder Mike Piera. The pedal gained a cult following and gearheads piled onto a waiting list that could stretch out years in length. Analogman tried to address this by releasing the compact-sized Prince of Tone, but demand for that pedal also overwhelmed supply. Recently, Piera and MXR shocked the pedal industry with a joint venture whereby a new, micro-sized overdrive pedal - the "Duke of Tone" would be mass produced under the MXR Custom Shop banner. So, despite never actually playing one, the idea of ordering this legendary pedal off of Amazon for a reasonable price ($150) was too good to pass up. All three of the pedals trace their lineage to the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal, which was available in the 1990's, and only very recently reissued. It's a low-to-medium gain overdrive that does more to enhance your tone than take it over. The DoT is similar to the Prince of Tone in its controls and layout. You get three modes: OD (soft clipping with smooth compression); Boost (clean boost with no clipping); and Distortion (hard clipping; more compressed and more gain). Many players will tell you that the Boost mode is their favorite, particularly as it enhances the definition and clarity of whatever pedals and amps come after it in the signal chain. My impressions of the pedal? Being familiar with other Bluesbreaker circuits (including the Snouse Blackbox and Mooer Blues Crab), I was surprised at how much the DoT impressed me - especially with its versatility. You can absolutely use it as an "always on" tone enhancer, and on Boost mode with the volume turned up and the gain set at or near zero, your tone will remain clean, but with added dynamics and sustain. But there are also a lot of other excellent settings on the DoT. While it's certainly not meant for shredding, the driven sounds in OD and Distortion mode certainly offer a lot more gain than anything you could get from an un-modded Bluesbreaker circuit. I liked the DoT so much, I reworked my already-crowded pedalboard to place it in front of my HX Stomp. The compact size, extreme versatility, and very low power draw (6mA) make it no-brainer addition to any pedalboard. ... show more
