Guitar Pedal

Effective High-Gain AggressionThe Zvex Box of Metal™ is an aggressive high-gain pedal with a highly-effective built-in switchable gate which dramatically eliminated noise and unwanted feedback. The gain and tonal characteristics are like those found on high-gain tube amplifiers that have remained as the staple of hard rock and metal sounds since the 80’s. On the right, you’ll find a true-bypass switch with an indicator LED to bypass the entire effect. On the left is a gate switch which only works when the pedal is on, the gate can’t be used separately.
When the gate’s LED, on the left side of the pedal is ON, the gate will be active whenever the pedal is turned on. The gate works great for cleaning up any noise between palm-muted chords and lead phrases, but may be switched off to allow feedback or to extend lead notes that fade into noise. Switching off and on the gate is silent so the gating action of the pedal can instantly be changed during any part of the performance to fluidly integrate soloing and palm-muted chords.

Ultimate Tone Control

VolumeSets the output volume of the pedal. Note that the LED on the RIGHT is for the BYPASS switch and the LED on the LEFT is for the GATE. The Drive and control is based on my original Super Hard-On gain control, so it may crackle when turned (this is normal).

BassSets the bass / sub-bass level to add extra resonance for a wider and bigger sounding tone.

MidrangeResponsive control to adjust to accentuate or scoop out mids and alter the tightness of the tone whilst finding the perfect frequency in the mix.

TrebleAdjust for treble content. Use this in tandem with your amp’s presence and treble controls to get the precise topend texture...the presence control is very important on your amp, if you have one.

GainSets the amount of distortion. The Box of Metal™ does NOT clean up. This control goes from hard to very hard. It may crackle when turned...this is perfectly normal.

GateAdjust for your playing style. When fully clockwise, palmmuting will create an audible thump and bumping the strings will open the gate. Turn down to make the gate tighter. Gate is unaffected by other controls.
