As one of the original founders of MXR, Michael Laiacona, president of Whirlwind, first brought these effects pedals to guitarists almost 40 years ago. They were the ones that started a revolution and no one has made them quite the same since . . . hand-wired, American made, built to last forever and with the exact same circuits and quality components. That is how he originally made them and now he is doing it again with the new Rochester line from Whirlwind, only now they are true bypass and have LED indicator lights. These are handwired, American made replicas of the original pedals
This classic handwired tank of a box delivers a wide range of sonic distortion from a subtle, warm, tube-driven tone to balls-to-the-walls searing hot overdrive, with that vintage sustain and classic tone you grew up with.
Michael Laiacona is the designer of the original Distortion+ pedal for MXR!
Whirlwind also calls this the pedal "Yellow" There is a new Gold Pedal coming out in March 2010 that will be called "Gold" as well, but it is not a Rochester line and will sell for around $300.
