The ZVex Vexter Box of Rock Distortion is the same as the OG Box of Rock pedal, only screen-printed instead of hand-painted to pass the savings on to you. Same Marshall JTM45 style boost + distortion pedal, but priced so that you can afford to buy two! - proguitarshop.c...
I think the most impressive thing about these PGS demos is that I dont think i've ever heard andy play the same lick twice.
I love Andy; he always does the best demos, explains everything perfectly, plays with great technique.
Pink Turns to Blue. Awesome.
Wow, haven't heard the old AC/DC Riff Raff in minute. I love that song!
This pedal sounds like you plug into an amp, not a pedal. Sounds fenomenal! The boost section makes this one much nicer than the Distortron pedal.
That thing absolutely nails the Riff Raff tone.
Good to know Andy is at my service.
Pink turns to blue!
i just love the tiny oscillations in the z.vex effects.
Using a VFE White Horse (something PGS should demo) on compression with a significant bass reduction works pretty well. It's nice because you can add some compression if you want to. I play my guitar through my my mesa bass amp, so it's not a guitar amp, but it is tube break-up. sounds freaking sweet
Tatoo :)
Love that song...
i like the riffs around 4:07-4:20
Hüsker dü at 3:45 ;-) nice!
@JohnJeevasingham It depends. If you place the booster before your overdrive, it will give you a gain boost. If you place the boost after your overdrive, it will ad a volume boost,
Riff raff is such a great song
unbelievable tone at the end! reminds me of a Joe Bonamassa strat tone
He plays this one really cool riff a lot whenever he demos or uses fuzz. I love it, but have no idea what song it's from...
it doesn't have as much of a mid hump, but it has more than say a fulltone ocd (which is extremely flat). it does have a ton of bass on tap
From what I've heard, they're VERY beefy in person. People even complain about the massive amount of low end being too much for their amps and it sounds mushy.
i love my box of rock. it's a GREAT ac/dc style 'dirty but not distorted' pedal.
i use one of these and a BYOC shredder with an double looper pedal to get all the marshall sounds i need :o)
It's actually 2..
The Boost portion is entirely independent based on the SHO circuit..
I like the AC/DCish tone it puts out.. could do with some higher gain though
@ANIMVL
I have this pedal. It's definitely a volume boost. It's just a really, really powerful one. So powerful that it hits the input of your amp with a signal so big it distorts. It is a volume boost though - you just can't tell through the video because it's a youtube video. Play it yourself and then tell me it's not a volume boost.
Sounds like a Bad Religion song @ 1:43 you can buy it like Mint/New for $120 just gotta go on craiglist, ebay, etc. I rarely pay Full price for pedals unless its out of print.
so the boost side is a gain boost when the drive channel is on? and a volume boost when its on by itself? cool!!!
what song is it at 2:45-3:13? I'm loving that last chord!
wow actually a great sounding distortion
@TacooGrill no its not its just a volume boost
ooooh boy i love this pedal to death! my gf got this for me for xmas (from PGS of course) and its the best distortion pedal i've ever own!
hey does this pedal have a mid hump? i play in baritone tuning and am trying to keep my low end in tact (ts9 is killing me) thanks!!
i hate the drive sound of box of rock so i use this one a booster for clean and gain boost
and it work perfectly
'Box of Boost'
Box of Rock vs. Wampler Plexidrive would be a good run.
@edmiglia no this goes before the amp not after
if you need a booster try something like the digitech tube overdrive, I used to use the valve distortion as a booster and those low and high eq controls have a ton of impact. The tube overdrive is more simular to the bad monkey, ideal for boosting but 5x better build quality and real true bypass
is it all the zvex vexter pedals have a 9v boss power supply in as well as the battery?
I love the Tattoo riff.
@tremalow I never thought of it, but you're right....I never hear the same licks or riffs twice either! PGS has the "best" demos to me....more detail and info than others....esp. world music supply....they can be a joke sometimes!
@ASTROAVERY Well yes out of Production would be the correct wording, i just got use to saying out of print and most people understand what i'm talking about. XD I think i might start using out of production, it makes more sense.
@ProGuitarShopDemos You know, Pro shop guitar!
Honestly, I wonder if a Xotic BB+ wouldn't be more interesting for me. I often use more creamy tones, such as the woman tone, the bluesbreaker Clapton tone and plexi high gain tones (of course with a good LP). There's only a little difference of price and I'd have all the tones I need in only one pedal. What's your opinion about it ?
yes
HUSKER DU! YEAH!
With that volume boost knob can this pedal be used like a power attenuator?
Future PGS Smackdown: Box of Rock vs Dimed Marshall JTM45
AC/DC RIFF RAFF FTW
Hey I was wondering, this pedal sounds awsome. Is the boost-side suitable to crank an allready distorted amp up? I like my amps natural drive, but i love to turn down the gain on my amp and tighten the sound with an external overdrive. Doubting between a cliché TS9, an OCD or the boost side of this, with the distortion side as a bonus...
any chance of a vexter series wolly mammoth?
Hey Andy, just a proposal for your next blind-eye test. This one against the M.I. Audio Crunch Box... I already own the 2nd and I think it smokes the BoR. But perhaps that's just me...
Agreed, with mine I had the tone cranked or at 3 o clock because of how mushy it got otherwise. Great pedal though, its fucking loud.
Did I detect a hint of Sparklehorse?
@INF3CT3DHAMPST3R I think it is well worth it, though. SHO sparkly clean boost as well as a kickass MSIAB tone, you can't go wrong.
What song starts from 3:45?
a little late, but you should look at a fulltone plimsoul
Wonder want the pedal looks like?
@jp6l6 The new Xotic BB Preamp MB (Mid Boost) sounds like it might be right up your alley seing as how the tone is a little more flexible with the mid control.
They are both great, but I like the BB too.
Hey Andy, whats the song at about 4:40? Thanks!
how do you active true bypass?
Would the box of rock sound good with a solid state amp? Thanks!
@JohnPaulCM Nice save....
Possessed Soul Guitar
true
i love my box of rock, but it doesn't really sound good at lower gain levels!
nice husker du
Really? I think it is a bargain. Best pedal I ever bought.
@tremalow I know, RIght?
hi, is it true by pass???
tattoo!!!
killer!
Riff Raff!!!
RIFF RAFF!!
riff raff!
yes 1:23
@lobot666 - PSG?
@AlexWolfking pinch harmonics
"to hot to handle"
Um.. so just get the "Super Hard On" Pedal?
@ProGuitarShopDemos ProGuitarShop
nice :)
muy expensivo, even at half the price of the other one
they cost soooo much :(
lul hard on circuit
#1
Its an ok Overdrive but its really overpriced
@mrsomewhere666 hahahhahahaha
I kinda want to build a clone of this pedal... Then I'd be shamelessly ripping off a shameless rip-off (Box of Rock) of a shameless rip-off (JTM45).
O_O
Thats not distortion! XD
Or some reason Andy always makes pedals sound horrible, in my opinion.
RIFF RAFF!!
