This pedal is based on the extremely popular Tech 21 YYZ signature SansAmp pedal. The MP40 celebrates the 40th anniversary of Rush’s “Moving Pictures” album, which was a turning point in Geddy Lee’s signature tone. This pedal builds on the YYZ with a new selectable Boost stomp switch that provides 12db of presence boost for increased top-end distortion. There’s also a “Shape Shifter” button giving you 6db of what Geddy Lee describes as “an indefinable thing of awesomeness”.
