Zvex Box of Rock Vexter Series

The ‘Box of Rock’ is Zvex’s first “distortion” pedal, highly specialized to simulate the “everything on 10” sound of a classic Marshall JTM45 non-master-volume amp. You may use the ‘Box Of Rock’ effectively with many different amplifiers, but to get the sound Zachary Vex intended, try it through a Marshall at least once. You can use your guitar’s volume control to adjust for the exact amount of distortion you need, all the way down to very clean and clear with most drive settings. The ‘Box Of Rock’ also contains an extremely high-headroom, unity-to-50 x gain-booster with nominal input impedance and low hiss. It is very similiar to the ‘Super Hard On’ boost circuit, with refinements to make it sound more like a standard amp input and less glassy. The boost channel can be used alone or in conjunction with the ‘distortion engine’ channel. The boost channel follows the distortion channel so that the distortion hits your amp harder (at a higher volume) when both switches are engaged, for boosting solos and what-not.
