mxr layers

Elevate your musical expression with rich, organic sustain and versatile controls. Create intricate soundscapes with up to three layers, triggered by footswitch or playing dynamics. Adjust mix, attack, decay, and more for endless customization.


The MXR Layers Pedal blooms with rich, organic sustain that imbues every strum and pluck with resonance and depth. With a versatile suite of controls, this pedal can be as simple or complex as you need. Whether you want to lengthen single notes or generate multi-layered soundscapes rich with ambience, the MXR Layers Pedal will extend the creative potential of your instrument. Pull off chord voicings you never thought possible, compose transcendent melodies, orchestrate harmonic ensembles, create lively stereo pads, and more—all from a standard MXR housing.

MXR Layers Pedal highlights:

  • Versatile suite of controls opens new frontiers to plug-and-play maestros and tonal tinkerers alike
  • Up to three layers of sustain, each with its own status LED
  • Trigger layers with footswitch or playing dynamics
  • The Mix knob adjusts the wet signal level; in other words, the volume of your layers
  • Trig knob sets the sensitivity of auto-trigger function
  • Attack knob adjusts the fade-in time of each layer, while Decay knob sets the fade-out time
  • Sub Oct switch adds fat subterranean vibes
  • Advanced features such as expression pedal and tap switch control or additional parameter tweaks offer even more intricate customization
  • Build richly detailed soundscapes that elevate musical expression to new heights
