Z. Vex Distortron (Zvex) Vextron Series Distortion Pedal
OVERVIEW: The Distortron™ is the gifted little sister to the ZVEX 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.” Let’s go over the controls: CONTROLS: DRIVE: Sets the amount of distortion. Start around 1:00 o’clock. 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
