"It would be immodest of me to suggest that this ZVEX effect is the greatest distortion pedal of all time, but it probably is." ~Zachary Vex

From Zvex...

This pedal is a modified version of our Box of Rock’s Distortron Engine. The improvements include a gain boost switch for added sizzle and a sub control switch with 3 levels. The amounts were carefully selected to reduce “flubbiness” that occurs when using amps with heavy low-end response.

Try it last in your chain, and beat it up with your other effects... it stacks like a dream.

Controls

Drive
Sets the amount of distortion. Start around 1:00 o’clock. Drive is based on my original Super Hard-On gain control so it may crackle when turned. This is perfectly normal.
Tone
Adjust for treble content. Start around 2:00 o’clock.
Volume
Adjust for output volume level. Start around 9:00 o’clock.
Gain
“Lo/Hi” lets you choose standard “Box of Rock” gain level or a slightly boosted level.
Subs
“2-1-3” lets you choose the full “Box of Rock” sub amount (3) or two different lower levels of subs depending on your amp’s needs.

Power

Info
Uses one 9V battery (preferably alkaline but the unit is shipped with a carbon-zinc battery.) The low current operation of this pedal’s circuit will give you extraordinarily long battery life. Current draw is approximately 2mA. A DC power jack (standard Boss configuration with center negative) is provided on the side of the pedal. Use a high- quality 9V adaptor for all high-gain effects!
