• Roars with huge amp stack tones and old school distortion
• Delivers soaring leads and rich, saturated rhythms
• CRUNCH button boosts the dynamic range and harmonic content of distortion
POWER
The MXR Custom Badass ’78 is powered by one 9-volt battery (remove bottom plate to install), a 9-volt AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003/ECB003E, or a DC BrickTM power supply.
