Sound Samples

Please remember, these demos are only a tonal snapshot. Subtle detail of how the pedal reacts and interacts with your playing is really what makes the Rock Box Distortion™ special.




The left footswitch engages the pedal, while the right footswitch engages our ultra transparent boost circuit. This unique circuit does not affect your tone when engaged, and provides an actual output volume (not gain) boost with more than enough power to cut thru the loudest mix. The overall output of the boost is set by the boost knob.

In addition to this, when the boost is engaged, the front panel drive control is turned off and the rear panel boost drive control is simultaneously turned on. This means you can have a completely independent drive setting for the boost, letting you have more (or less) drive saturation when the boost is engaged.

The upper left switch selects between two individually voiced channels, Blonde and Brunette

The Blonde channel is voiced for a clearer more detailed tone with a bump up in the gain department, while the Brunette channel achieves a warmer tone with less drive saturation.
