The M251 FOD Drive creates the experience of mixing the tone of two highly sought-after guitar amps, conveniently and easily on your pedal board. Professional guitarists and sound engineers have been combining amplifiers for decades, mixing their sounds and creating new possibilities for musical expressiveness. MXR's team of designers got their hands on a pair of properly modified legendary model guitar amps, marveled at their magical nature, then opened them up for careful analysis. One of them was modified for properly scooped high-gain, while the other was modified for punchy midrange punch. Together they provided a harmonically complex palette of grime, chew, and overdrive that it would be a crime not to let the world have access to. FOD Drive is the result.
With two channels, High Gain and Crunch Gain, with separate volume and gain controls, a Blend knob to adjust the balance, and a Tone control for general EQ, the M251 gives a faithful feeling of playing with two amplifiers. And to top it all off, it also has a Scoop switch that lets you choose between a straight, hammock, or mid-boosted sound character.
