Re: Pedal distortion?
I'm actually using the Box of Rock which doesn't have the tweakable subs or extra gain stages.
That said, it behaves a lot like the amp it's designed around...if i'm gona use other pedals, i set the volume so it's about the same as my clean amp then make it sound classic rock crunchy.
My chain goes guitar - 808 - Big Muff - Box of Rock - Amp most of the time...sometimes with more fuzz pedals before the BoR. Basically it reacts how you'd expect a cranked Marshall to...the 808 with no dirt and a lot of volume boosts the BoR and makes it tighter and heavier with thicker mids...this is my like 'punk rock' or 'Slayer' sound...then the Big Muff's huge fuzzy lowend and buzzy fizzy highs are smoothed out and thickened up in the mids by the BoR...i can add the 808 to that if i want even more mids and a huge gnarly sound but...y'know
i'm moving into an apartment soon so i'm gona be getting one of those 5-watt tube combos for practice...i took the BoR and the 808 to work the other day to try a few out and they performed just fine. I bet 80% of rock guitarists would be totally satisfied with their favorite guitar, a BoR and MAYBE a nice delay into a Marshall Class 5...
