MXR DD25V4 | Dookie Drive V4

As one of the most well-known punk frontmen of this generation, Billie Joe Armstrong leads Green day. He’s well known for his full-on style, tone, and attitude. The MXR Dookie Drive V4 is designed in collaboration with Green day to capture the sound of one of the most important Punk Rock albums to date, Dookie!

The MXR Dookie Drive perfectly recreates Billie’s dirty yet punch guitar tone which allowed him to express the musicality of his 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 v4 captures the sound of both of these amps and houses it in one single pedal. How sweet is that!

The MXR Dookie Drive V4 features a simplistic control layout, allowing you to just plug in and play! 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.

It’s worth noting that this pedal isn’t just for Green Day fans. The Dookie Drive is extremely powerful and can turn it’s hand to just about anything you throw at it. It provides a full harmonic range of overdriven tones for a playing experience that is full of depth and dimension.
