The Snouse BlackBox Overdrive 2 is a dream come true for classic guitarists. 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 piece of kit, 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.
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.
