The DD25V4 Dookie Drive V4 effects pedal from MXR delivers the sound of Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar tone on Green Day's groundbreaking album, Dookie. With a dirty and punchy sound, Dookie had the perfect amount of articulation to express the musicality of Armstrong's fast, melodic riffs. He got that sound by running his signal through two heavily modified amplifiers—one scooped with a ton of gain and the other with a well-defined midrange. When it came time to mix the record, the band blended the two signals together in different ratios to match the vibe of each track. The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal captures the sound of both the amps used on that record in a single pedal so that you can dial in your own variations of the famous Dookie sound. The MXR team borrowed the actual amps themselves so that every sonic quality could be analyzed. After testing, the amps were rebuilt from scratch in pedal circuit form and fit into a single housing. The High Gain and Crunch Gain sections each have their own controls, while the Blend control allows you to mix them together just like Green Day did in the studio. If you want some extra scoop in the midrange of the overall output signal, just hit the Scoop switch.

The Dookie Drive isn't just for Green Day fans—this totally unique pedal provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension. This special-edition version has been dressed up with a finish that speaks to the cultural impact of the Dookie record and the massive sonic potential of its namesake pedal.
