Dookie Drive 30th Anniversary Special Edition
Billie Joe Armstrong’s guitar tone on Green Day’s groundbreaking album Dookie sounded dirty and punchy, with the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of his fast, melodic riffs. He achieved that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers—one scooped with a ton 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 you can dial in your own variations of that famous Dookie sound. The MXR team carefully analyzed Billie Joe Armstrong’s amps to replicate their sonic qualities. After much A/B testing, they rebuilt the amps from scratch in pedal circuit form, fitting them into one 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 you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.
This special edition celebrates the 30th anniversary of Dookie’s release in 1994, featuring a commemorative finish.
