This pedal should not be a limited edition, it should be available for as long as possible as a tribute and reminder of Randy's artistry and influence on music, in general.
It is limited because of the components. The Germanium diodes used in that era of Distortion Plus pedals along with the Op-amp are very hard to come by and they cannot continually buy them reliably. A friend of mine opened his up and he had Green Band Diodes while mine has Black Band. In other words all of the 3200 made don't even have the same exact components. Green Band are Darker while Black Band are brighter. The Black Band are what Rhoads' pedal had. I totally agree that this pedal should be continually made but given the above it's virtually impossible. There's a reason why the Modern Distortion Plus doesn't have the same components...it's cost+availability.
Very cool pedal. Lou killed it. Sounded awesome. You’re right, 40, it never gets old. What’s the difference between the Classic mustard color MXR Distortion Plus I bought in the 80’s and this Randy Rhoads version, besides the obvious outer case design? I’m sure the components on the pcb are miniature compared to the older components from the 80’s, too. 🎸🤘🏼👍🏻
I heard the Randy Rhoads is tweaked a bit to get the Rhoads tone. Not sure if that is true. I’ll read up on it today and we can talk about it tonight. Thanks for watching buddy!
Howdy Mike, sounds ok I guess but does it ONLY do distortion?? I was under thought it was a Combo pedal? Thanks brother need some good used parts for that Charvel!? Hopefully everything is going well for you brother, take care and maybe I can make a live just don't know when staying with Mother till she can get Better, God Bless,your Music-In-Law 🤘🎸🤠
I noticed there was a manual in the picture, for a two knob pedal, oh yeah and the foot switch, it should come with the land deed to swamp land in Florida
Robert is also my Rep at Sweetwater. They They cancelled my pre order as they "sold out". Too late to find another seller before the opportunists started selling them for big bucks online. Not happy with MXR, Sweetweater, or the scumbag sellers who bought them all up to rips us off. Done with all of them now.
Robert is great, always been good to me. I still have mine! No interest in selling. Give it a minute, I’m sure you will land one for a decent price. Thanks for watching!
Well, the playing was good but sounded more like EVH. Not even close to Randy's tone. No vintage plexi, no 10 band EQ, no Mxr chorus and flanger. Oh well.

I agree with you! Thanks for your comment.

Only distortion sir… not a combo pedal. Hang in there pal!

Yea they are going for a grip right now. Once they release more it will cool off. Thanks for watching!
Yea they are pricy right now. I believe they will come down once more are released. Thanks for watching!!
Don't hurt 'em Lou!
He’s a beast of a player and a great guy. Thanks for watching!
Nice Chibson.
He loves that guitar!!

They could have told us sooner than they did….maybe we could have located a dealer before the situation was exploited.
Yea, good point. There’s people out there that really wanted one and didn’t get it. I have a feeling MXR will be doing more.
The lowest price I've found is $499.00! That thing is thru the roof.
Yea, that’s a little much.
$500 pedal huh?
I don’t think so!!
I believe that’s what they are selling for on reverb.
Is that Gibson ? Headstock. Looks like an epiphone
Lou’s Randy is an Epi. He prefers it dues to weight. It plays fantastic.
That pedal is just a different color
It sure is! Thanks for watching!
Clark Maria Lee Jose Lee Christopher
Thanks!
I think Randy’s tone with Ozzy was awful…and the Distortion + is the main reason.
It’s possible. I will never use that pedal. With an EVH I need nothing.
Well, the playing was good but sounded more like EVH. Not even close to Randy's tone. No vintage plexi, no 10 band EQ, no Mxr chorus and flanger. Oh well.

KICK ASS!! WE MISS Y0U RANDY!
We surely do! Thanks for watching!
LOVE RANDY RIP BROTHER.I BELIEVE HE WOULD BE PISSED THAT MXR DID THIS.$139 PEDAL BEING SCALPED FOR $500.DONT CARE IF I EVER PLAY ONE .
Randy is surely in my top 5. At this point it’s more of a cash grab for all parties IMO. I will not be selling mine.
