Rapidly selling out, the special edition MXR Distortion+ featuring Randy Rhoads' Concorde design is back, enticing fans to snap it up and immerse themselves in the legendary guitarist's iconic tones.

The music equipment manufacturer MXR, distributed by Jim Dunlop, has announced the release of a new special edition of the Randy Rhoads Distortion pedal. This limited edition pedal, priced at £199, is a faithful recreation of the distortion pedal that the legendary guitarist used on his most beloved hits.

The MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ is a signature version of the Distortion+ pedal, designed to match the original pedal on Rhoads' infamous "chip pan" pedalboard. The new pedal is refinished in white with black pinstripes, reminiscent of the Flying V-style guitar that Rhoads designed and which became one of the most popular metal guitars of all time.

The development of the MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ was a collaboration with the Rhoads family, ensuring that every detail of the pedal reflects Rhoads' unique style and sound. The pedal features gold knurled metal knobs and is available now.

The Flying V-style guitar was the first of Jackson's guitars to feature his name on the headstock and was inspired by the Concorde supersonic airliner. Rhoads, a co-founder and the original guitarist of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot, was known for his polka-dot theme inspired by the band's logo.

MXR's product development team inspected Rhoads' pedalboard at the Rhoads' family's Musonia School of Music in Los Angeles to ensure that the new pedal accurately replicates the sound and feel of the original. The engineers spec'd Randy's vintage Distortion+ for this signature model, promising the same overdriven tones that made Rhoads' music iconic.

The first run of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion sold out quickly, demonstrating the high demand for this iconic pedal among guitarists worldwide. The new pedal comes with a certificate of authenticity, making it a must-have for any guitar enthusiast.

Jim Dunlop, which owns and distributes MXR, is releasing another batch of the Randy Rhoads signature distortion pedal, giving fans another chance to own a piece of rock history. The MXR Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+ is a testament to Rhoads' enduring influence on the world of music and a tribute to his innovative spirit.
