Your Pedalboard's Secret Weapon
MXR - 'MC401' Boost/Line Driver

MXR / CUSTOM AUDIO ELECTRONICSThe clever ‘MC401’ from Custom Audio Electronics through MXR, is a serious volume booster, capable of pushing your guitar’s signal by a significant degree. With up to 20dB boost hidden under the hood, this is a powerful pedal to have on your board to raise the overall output of your rig, and is the ideal platform from which to boost your solos.
The MC401 has much more than just a simple volume boost up it’s sleeve though. Whilst true it only sports one control, the MC401 also adds a sprinkle of top-end to your sound alongside a little more mid-range punch. Through this, your sound will feature greater definition and brilliance, which can help to compensate for signal loss often common in larger, more complex rigs.
Add this pedal to your effects loop and attain a savage kick of extra volume. It should also be noted that when used alongside an overdrive or distortion pedal, when placed before them in your chain, you’ll enjoy a more saturated tone, richer in harmonic detail. However you choose to put the MC401 to use, it’ll be your pedalboards secret weapon!
