The MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive is a custom-designed pedal based on a classic overdrive known for its gritty and crunchy tones. However, MXR has added its own touch to the circuit by balancing out the midrange and increasing the gain. The result is a sweeter and more natural sound, even when the pedal is cranked up to higher gain settings.

The pedal features a simple and intuitive three-knob interface, consisting of Output, Tone, and Drive controls. With these controls, guitarists can easily dial in their desired overdrive tones and perfect their own recipes for delicious sonic flavors.

Designed to be compact and pedalboard-friendly, the MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive comes in an MXR mini housing. Despite its small size, it packs a punch and delivers tons of tonal character, making it an ideal choice for guitarists seeking versatile and inspiring overdrive tones.

Eric Gales, known for his tasteful and impressive guitar playing, relies on the MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive to season his guitar tone just right and turn up the heat when needed. The pedal's custom circuit and MXR's adjustments to the classic OD deliver a unique and appealing overdrive sound that suits Gales' playing style and musical preferences.

This pedal can be powered using a Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter. Additionally, it is compatible with MXR's DC Brick, Iso-Brick, and Mini Iso-Brick power supplies (though these are not included with the pedal).

For guitarists looking for a versatile overdrive pedal with a unique tonal character and a touch of Eric Gales' tasteful seasoning, the MXR Raw Dawg Overdrive is a perfect choice. Its balanced midrange, increased gain, and natural sound make it a powerful tool for adding rich overdrive flavors to your guitar playing.
