MXR’s new Randy Rhoads signature distortion pedal has been revealed and it looks very cool. The bad news? It’s been delayed until mid-spring

MXR’s new signature distortion pedal for the late, great Randy Rhoads has been revealed, but fans of the metal guitar icon will have to wait just a little bit longer to add it to their pedalboards because it has been delayed to mid-spring.
