MXR, also known as MXR Innovations, was a manufacturer of guitar effects units, co-founded in 1973 by Keith Barr (who went on to found Alesis) and Terry Sherwood (who went on to co-found Applied Research & Technology). MXR was based in the United States in Rochester, New York. MXR Innovations, Inc. was incorporated in 1974. The MXR trademark is now owned by Jim Dunlop, which continues to produce the original effects units along with new additions to the line.
Founded in 1973, MXR Innovations entered the effects market as a pioneer with the development of tough and rugged stomp boxes, simple utilitarian designs and small sizes. Jim Dunlop, having purchased the brand in 1987, continues MXR’s traditional pedal line of original MXR classics that have come to define the brand, such as the Phase 90 and Dyna Comp, as well as modern pedals like the Carbon Copy and Fullbore Metal. Dunlop has also added a line dedicated to bass effects boxes, MXR Bass Innovations, which has recently released the Bass Octave Deluxe and Bass Envelope Filter. Both pedals won Editor Awards in Bass Player Magazine and Platinum Awards from Guitar World Magazine. The MXR Custom Shop is responsible for recreations of vintage models such as the hand-wired Phase 45, as well as doing limited runs of pedals featuring premium components and highly modified designs such as the new Custom Comp.
And all my life, I've been waiting
For the one like you
Stuck in these awkward situations,
Searching for something true
When my life was upside-down, you turned it all around
Nightime drivin' around the town
I look into your eyes,
And you make me realize
When all stars fall youll be one,
To kiss my lips and see the sun
As it sets over everything in this world,
'Cuz when all stars fall you'll see the way
I look at you as you're watching me
And I swear, that I will..
Love you forever.
She thought she was so clever,
Think I finally did better
Believe me I burned all the letters
To let go of what I once treasured.
She pushed me to the ground,
I fell into the sound,
Of a fast paced heartbeat
I turned around,
And looked into your eyes,
And right then I realized...
That when all stars fall, you'll be one,
To kiss my lips and see the sun
As it sets over everything in this world.
And when all stars fall, you'll see the way
I look at you as you're watching me
And I swear, that I will..
Love you forever.
'Cuz when all stars fall you'll scream my name,
The sky will fall and I'll hold your hand,
And I won't trade you for anything in this world
And when all stars fall I hope you know,
I'll make my way to your window
