Introducing the MXR Raw Dawg, an overdrive effect pedal that marries classic 'crunch' and modern refinement. Created in collaboration with Eric Gales, this signature overdrive captures the essence of his tasteful, fiery licks. The Raw Dawg Overdrive is equipped with a custom circuit based on a classic OD, known for its grit and crunch. But here's where it stands out: we've balanced the midrange and boosted the gain, offering a sweeter and more organic sound, even when you're maxing out the drive.

This pedal doesn't just sound good, it's also ergonomically designed. The mini housing ensures that it won't take up too much real estate on your pedalboard, and the simple three-knob interface (Output, Tone, and Drive controls) offers straightforward and intuitive control over your sound. Plus, with its true bypass, you can rest assured that your tone will remain pristine when the pedal is not engaged.
