- I love it. It might be broken. I love it.
MXR Blue Box is an octave down fuzz pedal. The octave down is very glitchy and unstable. That's part of the charm though as no two takes will be the same. The fuzz portion of the program also works great on bass guitar. Thanks for watching my short demo of this pedal.

Damn, the slicer-blue box combo went straight to acid land, and that fuzz....DOOOOOOM
This is one of the best demos I've seen in ages! I love how you experiment and demonstrate loads of different possibilities for a relatively simple pedal. Thanks!
Thanks for trying it with an octive up, i was wandering about that 🤟
Cool vid! I’d love some more like it!
Thanks! I definitely have some more on the way.
It's actually 2 octaves down, which is why its so... almost unusable to most people.
Thanks for the correction, that makes more sense too me now why it was just unusable on some of the lower bass notes.
hell yeah I want one
the slicer demo makes me want to run it with an arpeggiated sequence on a synthesizer
Most famous usecase of it is the guitar solo in "Fool In The Rain" by Zeppelin
This video was great!
Please try using the combo you showed in the vid and try playing the Halo riff, do not fret, only pitch shift.
Make a UA-cam short of it please 🙏🏻
Thanks for reigniting my curiousity over this pedal! Gonna have to hunt around now. (Also, what was that cool bass?)
Thanks! It's a Burny HB-65. They also made a few fancier ones like the HB-135. I like the shape a lot and it plays pretty good.
Oh hell yeah. Been a while since I've seen someone playing a vertigo.
I miss my fernandez. Had a decade elite; swapped the stock bridge pickup with a lace sensor red/red humbucker and omfg that *really* woke up the sustainer system.
Traded it for a '99 RG7621, which I still have. That sustainer was pretty sick, though.
I'm looking for a sustainer to put in this one but the prices are kinda crazy. The EMG's cause a couple of my pedals to clip and it's annoying to reset the volume over and over. So I think a passive pickup in the bridge and a sustainer in the neck would be cool.

I'm not really sure how an EMG would interact with the sustainer; I chose the lace sensor because I had experience with them and knew how hot the red single coil is (very) and figured the red/red humbucker would be a step beyond that. Lace sensors also have very little string pull. The sustainer gets it's input signal from the bridge pickup, so giving it a hotter input and less string pull seemed to work out really nicely.
On the subject of EMGs, if you haven't tried them at 18 volts I'd recommend it. They are specced to run 9-27 volts, so you aren't risking anything and they tend to get a lot more headroom. I didn't like the 707 until I ran it at 18 volts and it is probably my favorite 7 string pickup now.
Just some food for thought.
I tried this pedal like 10 years ago and could never get a musical sound out of it.
Hi, nice guitar. What is it?
Fernandes Vertigo. There is also a Burny version of the same shape called the H-65.
Melvins Charmicarmicat. Buzz used the MXR Blue Box on it. There is a vinyl upload here on YT, and it sounds better than the other digital sourced uploads to me.
