DESCRIPTION

• Makes any acoustic, lap, pedal

or electric guitar sound like a
resonator guitar

• Produces tonal variations
from warm, wooden sounds
to bright, metallic sounds

• Alters the traditional tone of

other electric instruments by
introducing the resonator
guitar’s tonal qualities

• Adds new tonal dimensions
when combined with other
effects such as distortion

Tom Bradshaw has been a highly

respected innovator, producer and

entrepreneur of music products
for 50 years. His efforts led to his
induction into the Steel Guitar

Hall of Fame in 2006. Recently,

Tom worked with the MXR team
to put the finishing touches on his
unique resonator circuit design. The
resulting MXR Resonator takes the
sound of your electric or acoustic
guitar into the world of classic
resonators.

For demonstration tablature for

guitar and steel guitar, typical

of the playing style common to

many resonator guitar brands, visit
