Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

Brown Box! , It looks red to meOriginally posted by BloodRose View Post
. I`d say with a title like the "78 Distortion" It`s kinda obvious what they`re hinting at and I`ll probalby end up getting one.

Re: Mxr 78
Any idea on a price yet? Could it be "true brown" without Eddie slapping stripes and a percentage on it?EVH: "I'm a tone chaser... I love chasin' tone!"Comment

I think it would have been a nice touch if it was indeed in a light brown casing.Originally posted by 51501984 View PostBrown Box! , It looks red to me. I`d say with a title like the "78 Distortion" It`s kinda obvious what they`re hinting at and I`ll probalby end up getting one.

Re: Mxr 78
The 78 is NOT a nod to Ed, the Pro Co rat was developed in 1978...the 78 Distortion is based on a Rat by all counts...If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

Re: Mxr 78
I just sent an e-mail to a contact at Dunlop to iron out the name meaning. i think it's a modded Distortion III circuit with a nod to VH with the '78 name to be honest.Comment

Re: Mxr 78
the number 78 really only means one thing to me. never before has a date been so engraved in my mind... and not because its when the RAT came out. I don't think many people have looked at a RAT package or ad and read (1978) on it... i do know where else you CAN read (1978) though...Comment

Re: Mxr 78
Just telling you guys what I was told...
Also, it can be both...the 78 part might very well be a nod to Ed however based on my info the pedal is based on a Rat...If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

I bought a Toad Works Mr Ed and its pretty cool, but doesnt hit it on the head..
wouldnt be bad if it based on the orig Rat circuit.. Ive heard those are much better than the ones after.
Whats the best copy of the orig Rat? Or are the new rats about as good?Last edited by BloodRose; 01-17-2011, 10:11 PM.Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
