The Shin-Juku Drive delivers legendary boutique amp tones right from
your pedalboard.

The MXR Custom Shop design team worked with Shin Suzuki, Japan’s most celebrated amp tech and pedal designer, to capture the sound of one of the rarest and most sought-after amps ever made.
Shin used his intimate knowledge of said amplifier to create a pedal that provides smooth, wide open overdrive with tons of sustain
and incredibly fast response time to every playing detail. The simple
three-knob interface allows you to call up a wide range of sounds,
from an organic boost to full on grinding overdrive.
At lower gain
settings, this pedal works amazingly as an “always on” tonal sweetener. Pushing the Dark switch cuts high frequencies for a darker, mellower sound.
