Yes I was surprised. MXR pedals are made by a price
point and by committee the results are usually disappointing.
Exceptions are when they do a clone or near clone
of one of their vintage pedals that were made when they
young, and fresh and not just part of the 'Jim Dunlop Corp'.
Some of the stuff is showing promise like their Reverbs
but even they remove pro features as long as they nailed
a good sound.
The pedal is not an effort to capture a specific amp. It is however
reminiscent of several gourmet amps that use Fender's approach
for the bones of the amp that uses 6L6 power tubes and then beef it
up in the preamp with cascading 12ax7 tubes to add several stages of gain.
Think of the M-75 as an old blackface Fender on steroids.
The first video does a Strat ...the pedal is not overly Strat friendly.
The Strat chime and chorus like effect of it's PU's do not poke thru the crunch.
The second video is with a Les Paul.
Hummies sound quite good thru it.
For as little as $100.00 USD it is well worth a thought.
Perhaps a nice second pedal if your main dirt box is a Brit sound?
Or maybe save just a liile more if you thought you were soon to buy
a Chinese cheapie?
