Product Description

The BlackBox Overdrive 2 Pro Mod is a dream come true for classic guitarists. Snouse have been hard at work over the past five years designing a circuit to encompass all you could want from an overdrive pedal.

Essentially three pedals in one, dive into legendary Bluesbreaker crunch, milder low gain and a JFET pre-gain clean boost all in a pedal the size of your standard stompbox.

Sound

An extremely dynamic pedal, the BlackBox will enhance any rig with its versatility and sweet, rich sound. Use it to prop up mid frequencies on top of some amp gain or rely on the pedal to provide any type of classic overdrive you can conjure. 

Switches

The flagship model was developed with the aid of seasoned pro guitarists for the stage and studio alike. Switch between Standard and Deep modes, which flattens out the midrange and enhances the low-end for a full frequency – similar to a closed back 4x12 cab.

The Tight toggle reigns in the low-end for a punchier drive, while the Bright/Smooth changes the dynamics and overall presence. Lastly, the Deep/Tight voicing allows for total shaping of your high and low-ends. Think of this as switching between American or British tones.  

Controls

You’ll have access to a wide spectrum of sounds at your feet. Each control has a huge range so you can dial in anything from fat vintage overdrive to ‘80s high-gain. If you’re after screaming lead tones, crank the Gain and Tone control knobs. The Presence setting helps you shape your rhythm tone. Boost will squeeze every little bit of character out the out the front end of your amp. 

Classic Setting

The BlackBox 2 can be switched into a classic mode, converting the circuit into the three-dial system of its predecessor. It’ll still retain loads of output volume but reverts to a simpler layout – super easy to dial in a great tone.

The 'classic mode' is great. The 'mod' modes (with the preamp pot engaged) tend to be mid-heavy even with bright modes and presence+tone set high. The 'classic' tone is amazing for low gain colors, both with vintage Fender amps, and modern (eg. Blackstar) amps (on the clean channel).

This pedal is one of the best low/medium gain drive pedals out there! It is insane versatile, and it produces very good tone in every setting...

Mr Tom Webb24th Oct 2023

This is now pretty much always on for me. It’s great for creating a base tone that you can then add to by pushing it with other drives. It’s incredibly versatile and the external switches really allow you to dial the pedal in to perfectly work with your amp.

Early days with this pedal, but didn't take long to be able to dial in the sounds in my head (as also heard on the internet). My model has the bottom left knob labelled preamp rather than boost, so wondering why, but it makes no difference. Everything here from large Fender combo-type sounds to cranked JTM45. Controls are plentiful and interactive but kind of intuitive and it helps that it sounds good in most settings. Make friends easily with boost pedals; so far, best results with a mini tubescreamer. Very happy!
