After testing the Snouse, Black Box 2, distortion pedal, it’s little wonder lots of players really love it. In fact, there is a 12 to 14 month waiting list. But the wait is well worth it. Joshua Aragon, (a.k.a. “Mr Snouse”) has designed what is arguably the best hand-made Blues Breaker distortion pedal around. It captures Clapton’s “Beano” sound based on the JTM 45 amp dialed to ‘break up’ and produce that organic guitar sound that went on to become one of rock’s legendary tones. The “basic model” comes with Gain, Preamp, Presence, Tone and Volume knobs that turn smooth and sure. No flimsy, mass-produced foreign import quality about this pedal. On the contrary, it politely but firmly says, “Hand-made in America.” If you’re looking for a solid sound with beautiful mids and plenty of headroom, look no further than this pedal which has garnered well deserved accolades the world over.
How do you think this would stack with a Tubescreamer-type pedal? after a John Mayer tone, hoping this will serve as a good replacement for the actual bb mk1 itself hahah
BluesBreaker style pedals are the way to go if you're after a John Mayer sound. I play it with a tubescreamer no problem. This video in particular is demonstrating the previous version of the Snouse BlackBox. The new version is here and is the same but with added features all explained in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ESnxAru2KoA/v-deo.html
A snouse black box 2 pro mod, a Nordland odr-c and a pogo pedal zen ray walk into a room where a wampler ego and TC spark are waiting for them, secret sauce ClinchFX Pre Ep+ What happens?
+Jamie Bullock it boosts a hot signal great and adds tone shaping with the tone and presence control. So anything from a boost like you're describing to higher gain than other bluesbreakers.
Hi, thanks for a great quality review to listen to - from 1:47 onwards, knob twiddling, was the BB2 all in High Gain Mode (assuming so as the boost knob works!) ?
+Richard McEntee my video of the current 2017 Snouse Black Box 2 with different gain modes here: ua-cam.com/video/ESnxAru2KoA/v-deo.html The video you commented on was the first 2016 version of the Snouse Black Box 2 which does not have different gain modes. The current version of the Snouse Black Box 2 has the modes you're asking about.

Ooh! Tasty chord voicings there! Great tone too.
Nice showcase of the pedal. Great playing as usual.
+earwig Thanks!
perfect demo.
That playing...excellent stuff
+Jnak Six Thanks a lot!
hi, how to set the boost knob to unity?
I just received the BB2, and still exploring the pedal

How would this work in front of an amp on the edge of break up to push it into further drive?

Great, I didn't realise the hi gain mode could clean up like that! I have a V2 on order 😀
sooo... when will Snouse be back to selling stuff?
Hopefully soon but I honestly don't know.
just orderd the classic today.
Really thinking about ordering a double and selling my King of Tone...
Estee Nieves I'll buy your KoT ;)
Is the boost pre or post gain ?
This is a Marshall Bluesbreaker clone.
It sure is kiddo
