Founded in 1972, MXR quickly gained a reputation for its groundbreaking effects pedals, beginning with the MXR Distortion +. Over the years, the brand has expanded its product line and has been instrumental in developing pedals that have become staples in the music industry. In 1985, MXR faced challenges and ceased operations, but the brand was revived in the early 2000s, continuing to innovate and produce a wide range of effects that cater to modern musicians.
