Billie Joe Armstrongs guitar tone on Green Days groundbreaking album Dookie sounded dirty and punchy, with the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He got that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiersone scooped with aton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band blended the two signals together in different ratios to match the vibe of each track.

The MXR Dookie Drive captures the tones of those amps in a single pedal so that you can dial inyour own variations of that famous Dookie sound. We borrowed his amps so that the MXR teamcould carefully analyze all the sonic qualities that make them sound so darn good. After muchanalysis and A/B testing, our engineers rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form and fitthem into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls,while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If youwant some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The MXR Dookie Drive isnt just for Green Day fansthis totally unique pedal provides a fullharmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. Thisspecial edition features an all-new finish to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Dookies monumentalrelease in 1994.
