ZVEX – Box of Rock – Distortionpedal – ID 4501

Hersteller Information
The Box of Rock™ is ZVEX Effect’s first “distortion” pedal,
highly specialized to simulate the “everything on 10” sound
of a classic Marshall® JTM45 non-master-volume amplifier.
You may use the Box of Rock™ effectively with many differ-
ent amplifiers. Once you’ve set your maximum needed drive
on the pedal, 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. You will
notice the words “distortron engine” on the Vexter version of
this pedal (no, that’s not a misprint) on the pedal. This is what I
named my distortion circuit... call me crazy.
The Box of Rock™ also contains an extremely high-head-
room, unity-to-50X gain booster with nominal input imped-
ance and low hiss. It is very similar to the SHO boost cir-
cuit, 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 “distortron engine” channel.
The boost channel follows the distortion channel so that the
distortion is able to hit your amp harder (at a higher volume)
when both switches are engaged, for boosting solos and
what-not. Look out when boosting what-not. 8^)

Uses 1 9V battery (preferably alkaline, but the unit is shipped with a
carbon-zinc battery). The low current operation of this pedal’s
circuit will give you a long battery life. Current draw is ap-
proximately 3mA. A DC power jack (standard Boss configura-
tion with center negative) is provided on the side of the pedal.
Use a high-quality 9V adaptor for all high-gain effects
