i bought this when it was released. the original green case. i was told it was essentially a reboxed GTOD with the switch to go between the two. great pedal that i still use to this day. great content as always Robert.
Thanks for being one of the few TH-camrs that doesn’t begin a video without playing before getting to the point. Just demo the gear. I don’t care about sweeps and shit. Keep up the good work.
You apparently didn’t see my most recent post on the Community tab. LOL
I had no idea they still made these. Bought mine 10 years ago when they were a GC exclusive for $29.00. I wanted a ZW overdrive so I removed the internal switch and added a toggle switch next to the tone switch.
This reminds me of the Horizon devices nano attack, which has an internal gain pot (like the stone deaf pdf-1)
I remember when they were $30 bucks. I used to mod these things for my friends by adding a toggle switch to the case. Kind of shady on MXR's part, but it works out to be a spectacular deal in the long run.
It’s true I have one I modded years ago with the switch moved to the outside so I can switch it, definitely a mid shift sound.
If you leave the secret switch in the middle, it becomes The Classic GTO Wylde Pedal. 'Love this demo man!
I guess the cover is used as part of the circuitry to connect negative points on the circuit board, that switch is good to know!
What I believe the switch moves from a TS style symmetrical clipping circuit and a Boss SD-1 Asymmetrical clipping circuit. Remember that Zach used a SD-1 before he got his endorsement with MXR. So it's a souped up Tubescreamer in one position and a souped up SD-1 in the other.
Good to know. Thanks!
What a cool pedal
Another great, informative video, Robert. I had no idea the pedal had an internal switch (since I only own 5 pedals and only use 4 of them, all reverb, tape echo, and delay pedals, I'm sure it is obvious and unsurprising to all). All additional information available is always welcome. Please keep the great videos coming!
Sounds like a cool project to unsolder that micro-switch and wire in a toggle for. Drill a hole in that housing and be able to flip back and forth. Its like 2 pedals in 1!🤘
I have one of these and did that mod. Mounted a toggle right on top. I completely forgot about this pedal, it’s been on a shelf for years, guess I should break it out.
@@HomeGuitarMods Awesome man! As soon as I seen it I thought man, that has to have a switch to change without taking it apart.
I mentioned the switch in my comments when you posted the original post a few ago. I have the MXR classic OD.
You weren’t alone. Several people mentioned it in the comments on that video.
Now i gotta try one!
I am late to the party as well, had no idea this pedal could do this. The more you know! Hahaha! Thanks Robert!
I have one of these, buyed already with a external switch. I use it with level at max and gain between 0 and 10% most of the time. It ads sustain and a bit of chug on palm'mutes without mudding the sound
Great video Robert.
Thanks for the video. I saw this pedal on local music store here in Denver but I just did feep to buy it but know you make me want it 🤟🏼🤟🏼
HELLO,Robert informative video,Good to see you..
Interesting, good to know!
Neat. I guess I'm late to the party too. Had no idea.
My mxr custom comp has adjustments inside. There are many pedals that do..
It's escaping me right now but one of the ocd type pedals has a switchable buffer.
The glove has a stiwch to run 18 or 9 volt inside.
In ZW mode it gets a bit of gate fuzz. Not for me but some people are going to like it that way.
I've got a Wampler pedal with switches in it...I just gotta remember which one.
Was you tube vids listed about it many years ago shortly after the pedal came out time went on people forgot.
I was one of some that spoke about this on the last video lol.
Pretty cool though isn't it?
The Zack pedal also has it.
Nothing changed but the case painting.
Many overdrives have user adjustable switches or trim pots in their interior.
The difference with this one is it’s not intended as user adjustable. You’d never know it was there unless you took the pedal apart as it’s not visible from the side you’d see by just taking off the back plate.
It is on MXR’s part a slight bit shady.
True, even a cheap Behringer Vintage Delay pedal it turns out. Adjusts the range on the delay time, quite useful.
The pedal business has always been somewhat shady with their practices. I have a feeling all these circuit boards were made with 12vDC in mind, I run 'm all from a cheap 12v adapter. Just says 9v because some genius thought it was handy to facilitate the option for a 9v block battery on some. I mean why not try to sell people overpriced 9v adapters as well while they're at it... Found some pedals sound better with the 12v... On others no audible difference to me.
So. It's kinda like the Secret Switch is sortta a setting between. Low pass filter. And high pass filter?
More or less, yes.
I had that Charvel when it came out. Great Axe.
It’s a great guitar. I don’t know why I don’t play it more often than I do.
Great video
Some people wire a switch to the case to be used without taking it apart again, just a toggle
I’d kind of like to do that with this one, but I’m not much at modding my own pedals.
Mxr carbon copy has an inside adjustment for modulation also that isn't documented.
I knew I prefered this pedal from the previous video. I guess the switch remained a secret so people paid a premium for the ZW pedal. But as that's no longer available, wouldn't it make sense to advertise this switch? Or even have a recess so you could switch between the 2 sounds without taking it apart. I suppose if they did the latter, the pedal would increase in price & wouldn't be in the affordble bracket anymore. Probably wise to keep it as is, but it now becomes even more of a bargain. For those that subscribe & watch your very informative video's that is. Otherwise they may never know. Great stuff AGAIN Robert. Happy new year sir.
Thanks man! Happy New Year!
Get a 2 way micro switch and drill a hole in the pedal to accept the switch.
Many have done just that.
I’m not big of modifying pedals, at least not myself, but that is apparently a pretty common mod on this pedal.
they keep pumpin out new kids every day. i'm sure there is always someone who learns something from every non cnn video on you tube. thank you for sharing. i've seen inner switches and adjustments. but i didn't know about the mxr
It’s amazing what people will pay for a paint job.
I actually had a guitarist with a secret switch in a band I was in years ago. I showed up at his house one day and he came out in a dress and said 'Well, now you know.' 😯
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ROBERT MAH-MAAAN! Love the Charvel! (Want to sell, perhaps? 🤩🤔😎)
Make me an offer. I’ll likely say no, but make me an offer anyway. LOL
Should it be a hidden switch not secret switch
Pick one. I consider it a secret because MXR didn’t tell me about it when I bought it. LOL
Who doesn't like a secret switch?
Robert, my man. You need to test that pedal with a clean to crispy amp. Flat out Judas Priest tone is not going to be a great platform to show what the pedal does. I appreciate your vids, and its not a sleight against you at all. Just a rando opinion. Thanks for putting the time in.
Noted!
I guess why get The Super Bad Ass Pedal when all MXR pedals are bad ass anyway. Yes I did see a demo from 10 years ago. The pedal was cool but for $100.00.
