Description
The Gain Box is a fully analog, multi‑channel distortion pedal with digital control and preset recall. Designed for players who want maximum tonal flexibility without sacrificing analog character, it combines three distinct distortion stages, a blendable dry path, a variable low‑pass filter, and a global output level in a compact enclosure.
Four mixable channels
The Gain Box features Fuzz, Overdrive, Distortion, and Dry channels.
- The three gain channels deliver a wide spectrum of tones—from saturated fuzz to warm overdrive to tight, aggressive distortion.
- Channels can be mixed in parallel or run in series, placing the Overdrive in front of either the Fuzz or Distortion for stacked gain textures.
- The Dry channel can be blended with any combination of gain channels for added clarity and punch.
Each channel is activated via dedicated micro‑switches, with individual blue LEDs indicating active status.
Tone shaping and output control
A smooth low‑pass filter lets you dial in brighter or darker voicings, while the global output level provides precise volume matching or clean boost capability.
Presets and digital control
The Gain Box stores up to 3 presets, capturing:
- Channel on/off states
- Filter setting
- Output level
- Series/parallel routing
The four analog knobs (Dry, Fuzz, Overdrive, Distortion) remain fully analog and are not stored in presets.
