“Not just Wayne’s sound but Wayne's attitude, and the grit and the rawness of Detroit and of the MC5”: Two gain circuits, one knob, one punk legend – MXR launches limited edition Jail Guitar Doors Drive in memory of Wayne Kramer

MXR Wayne Kramer Jail Guitar Doors Drive: launched with the help of Tom Morello, this signature drive features artwork from Obey and will support the late MC5 guitarist's prisoner rehabilitation charity.

MXR has launched a distortion pedal honouring the late MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer. The Jail Guitar Doors Drive was co-designed with Kramer before he died in February 2024, and it is gloriously simple in its design – at least, from a guitar player’s POV.

This is a single-knob drive pedal. Connections for your guitar cables are on the top. One footswitch. No messing. Cool enclosure artwork comes courtesy of Shepard Fairey, the founder of Obey Clothing.
