So, it's hot here in Germany, but fortunately my house is a old farm house from 1830. Inside the house it's really, really good tempered, so, instead enjoy the garden, I put some time in my work room on a new plugin.
I've checked the MXR Distortion + analysis on ElectroSmash and modelled it.
I found the sound a bit harsh, so I go and search for some mod's for it and found a Bass Boost mod which I implement.
This please me more. But for some stuff the original may be pleased at well, so I made a switch to allow to select between the modded and the original version.
Here it is:

enjoy.
When you've checked it out and played with it, let me know which version you like more, the original, or the one with the BassBoost.

Re: New GxDistortionPlus.lv2
sounds sweet but it needs the bass boost on for my taste.. The bass boost captures the pedal closer I think.?????

Well, there could possible be some errors in my simulation, but the version without the BassBoost represent the original one.funkmuscle wrote:The bass boost captures the pedal closer I think.?????
I read in a couple of DiY forums were people been not pleased with the sound from the MXR. Hence they start to modify it. The BassBoost is such a modification, and as I said, it pleased me as well even more.
When use with moderate distortion settings (around 0.4 - 0.7) the original version sounds good for me, as a overdrive pedal.
But you are right, as a distortion pedal it needs the BassBoost.
On the road again.
