Description

This pedal was originally designed for J.Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. He requested two Box of Rock pedals in one box with two stomp switches. He uses that regularly on stage now, but we did one (or two) better with the one we're releasing to the public. We made it so you can adjust the sub frequencies (like the Distortron), and you can convert either channel to a Super Hard-On. In this way, you can configure the pedal to be two Distortrons cascaded, two Super Hard-Ons cascaded (like a Super Duper 2-in-1), or a Box of Rock with boost, or a Super Hard-On (SHO) going into a Box of Rock. Distortion/boost heaven!

Controls:
Drive: Sets the amount of distortion in Distortron mode, and sets the amount of boost in SHO mode. It may crackle when turned. This is perfectly normal.
Tone: Adjust for treble content. Start around 2:00 o'clock. This knob only does stuff in Distortron mode.
Volume: Adjust for output volume level.
Dis/Boost Switch: Changes the circuit from a Distortron to Super Hard-On boost.
Subs Switch: "2-1-3" lets you choose the full "Box of Rock" sub amount (3) or two different lower levels of subs depending on your amp's needs. Only works in Distortron mode.

Operation:
Plug your guitar (or any effect's output) into the right hand input jack. Plug the output into an amp or other effect's input. Rock out. The two separate stomp switches control whether or not the two distinct circuits are engaged. You can select whether or not the circuit is a Distortron or Super Hard-On by way of the "Dis/Boost" toggle. When in Distortron mode, set the subs switch so there's just enough low-end for your amp. Try using your rhythm pickup with the tone control turned all the way down for a vintage bluesy howling lead sound.

Pedal placement:
I recommend that you try the Double Rock last in your pedal chain, just before the amp. You can set the amp for your favorite clean tone, and set the Double Rock for your favorite distortion/boost tones. Since you can change the first or second stomp switches to either a Distortron or Super Hard-On (SHO), you can mix and match the two to experience different results.
