General Information

The Lava Box is not your ordinary distortion/overdrive pedal. It actually

reacts more like a great amp than a stompbox, with the depth and

dynamics that give well-made amps so much character.

When you think about the tones that defined so many of the true guitar

heroes throughout history, they all really speak. They cut through. They say

something. A huge part of that is in the rich midrange frequencies that the

amplifiers of the day naturally produced. And, because those amps were

typically cranked up to full volume, they were also incredibly dynamic,

responding to different picking attacks and even subtle changes to the

guitar's volume control. The Lava Box brings that magic back with its broad

array of midrange timbres and its amazing sensitivity to picking intensity

and volume changes. Even at the highest gain settings, turn down your

guitar's volume control and the Lava Box will clean up beautifully. Onstage,

set the Lava Box for a loud lead tone and simply use your guitar's volume

control to get your clean and crunch tones—all without switching channels

or kicking in other effects. In the studio, you can explore the huge array of

tones that are available with the intuitive controls, creating special-effect

thin tones or spooky dark sounds that are perfect for layering and

overdubs.

Any distortion box can give you a sound. The SFX-05 Lava Box will

give you a voice.
