Rock and metal history just got a fresh coat of Concorde-white paint. The MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ (RR104C) is a faithful recreation of the very pedal Randy used to forge his violin-like leads, searing harmonics, and super-saturated riffs—now finished to match his iconic white, pinstriped “Concorde” V.

Why this release matters
For the first time in 42 years, the Rhoads family opened Randy’s original pedalboard at the Musonia School of Music so the MXR team could document and match his own Distortion+—with sister Kathy Rhoads directly involved. The result? A signature model voiced to deliver the same raw, amp-slamming overdrive you hear on Randy’s most beloved recordings.
“We are very proud of and honored by this special signature pedal. It is a true tribute to Randy’s musical legacy.” — The Rhoads Family
Special-edition finish & extras
Inspired by the supersonic airliner that sparked the design of Randy’s white, pinstriped Flying-V, this Special Edition Distortion+ wears a clean white finish with subtle pinstripes and ships with an exclusive collector’s booklet—a proper nod to tone chasers and collectors alike.
The sound: classic Distortion+, Rhoads-spec’d
MXR reverse-engineered Randy’s vintage unit to nail the response, texture, and headroom that defined his tone—perfect for pushing a crunchy British-style amp into singing sustain or adding muscular grit to a clean platform. Controls remain elegantly simple:
-
Output — overall level
-
Distortion — gain amount
-
True hardwire bypass — keeps your dry tone intact when off
Power: 9V battery or 9V DC adapter, ~11 mA current draw; Input impedance 1 MΩ, Output 25 kΩ.
