General

The inimitable Yngwie Malmsteen is known for his revolutionary, neo-classical virtuosity and unique sound. Here, you're looking at his go-to drive pedal: the MXR YJM308 Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive. Developed in close collaboration with the maestro himself, this stompbox is the result of a 45-year-long search for the perfect tone. As Yngwie would say: are you ready to rock?

The YJM308 Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive: Magnus Opus

Malmsteen effortlessly pulls off lightning fast arpeggios, extremely expressive vibratos and big impacting riffs. So not a single note or nuance is lost, MXR has packed this signature overdrive pedal with a brand-new circuit that's fully aimed at delivering maximum clarity and dynamics. Meanwhile, the control lay-out has been kept simple yet highly effective. You get just two pots - Level and Gain - but every small tweak has a huge effect on the sound. Want to sound just like Yngwie? Just open them all the way up.

MXR YJM308 Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive

Prachtige kwaliteit! Als het goed is voor Yngwie dan is dat goed genoeg voor mij. Simpel maar effectief.

In combinatie met mijn Plexi amp en cab sim van Boss IR-2 (en EQ en delay) is dit een fantastische overdrive pedaal! Enige minpuntje vind ik de adapter input aan de zijkant en dat gaat niet samen met een haakse jack. Deze doe ik nooit meer weg!

Helaas viel het pedaal mij tegen. Je versterker moet al flink aangedreven zijn, anders valt het pedaaltje erg tegen. Van alles geprobeerd, maar ik kreeg met mijn SV20H en HS3 gewapende Stratocaster niet het geluid wat ik had gehoopt. Ik houd mijn decibel relatief laag middels een JHS little black amp in a box. Mogelijk ligt het daaraan, maar met andere pedalen dit probleem nog niet gehad.
