So I just got the Zvex Box of Rock that I ordered off Ebay - used, not new. Seller said it was in great condition, and it looks mint. Then I plugged it in.
For starters, when the effect is bypassed, I get no signal at all. (For the record, I'm testing it out with only guitar --> cable --> BoR --> cable --> amp. No battery - powered by a 1-spot.) Then, for some reason, the Distortron side puts out almost no signal unless the volume is at about 12 'o clock. I turned the amp up to see what it sounded like, and it was horrible - it sounded like there was some kind of bad phaser on the distortion or something.
However, when I turn on the boost, everything works fine. It sounds amazing - also amazingly loud, but amazing nonetheless.
Any suggestions? Does it sound like I got screwed?
