Green Day’s Dookie revolutionised punk rock with its gritty, punchy guitar tone. Billie Joe Armstrong achieved this iconic sound by blending signals from two heavily modified amplifiers—one scooped and saturated with high gain, the other delivering a pronounced midrange for clarity. In the studio, the band mixed these two tones in varying ratios to suit each track’s vibe, creating the perfect blend of aggression and melodic precision for Billie Joe’s fast, tuneful riffs.

The MXR Dookie Drive Pedal brings this legendary sound to your rig, meticulously recreating those amps in a single pedal. By borrowing Armstrong’s original amplifiers, the MXR team conducted extensive analysis and A/B testing to replicate every nuance of their sonic character. The result is a pedal featuring separate controls for High Gain and Crunch Gain, along with a Blend knob to let you dial in the perfect ratio of each tone—just like the Dookie mix sessions. Need more scoop in the midrange? Flip the Scoop switch for extra tonal flexibility.

Whether you’re a Green Day fan or simply looking for a pedal that delivers a wide harmonic range of overdriven tones, the MXR Dookie Drive is a must-have. Its depth, dimension, and versatility go beyond tribute, making it a powerhouse for players of all styles. This special 30th-anniversary edition celebrates Dookie’s groundbreaking 1994 release with an exclusive new finish, making it as collectible as it is capable.
