ZVEX Distortron Distortion & Overdrive Pedal

The Distortron™ is the gifted little sister to the Z.Vex “Box of  Rock”.  It is highly specialized to simulate the “everything on  10” sound of a classic Marshall ® JTM45 non-master-volume  amplifier. You may use the Distortron™ effectively with many  different amplifiers, but to get the sound I heard when I designed it, try it through an old-school non-master volume Marshall at least once. You may use your guitar’s volume control to  adjust for the exact amount of distortion you need, all the way  down to very clean and clear with most drive settings when the  gain switch is set to “Lo.” 

• Drive: The Drive is based on  my original Super Hard-On  gain control, so it may crackle  when turned. This is perfectly  normal. That’s why it says  “Crackle Okay” by that knob.
• Tone: Adjust for treble  content. Start around 2:00  o’clock.
• Vol: Adjust for output volume level. Start around 9:00  o’clock.
• GAIN Switch: “Lo/Hi” lets you  choose standard “Box of  Rock” gain level or a slightly  boosted level.
• SUBS Switch: “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.
