Starts with distortion dimed. At 1:14 I dial them down to about 6, with various guitar vol/p.u. settings; at 3:00 I turn the distortion way down, then gradually toe them back up. At 5:40 the amp is turned up louder but not cranked, and the pedals are full on again, for harmonic feedback (audio in this section is just the camera mic). In all cases I had the pedal volumes set for unity gain, give or take. The Upstairs Critics at 8:16..

Playing a 1991 Fender USA Strat Plus with Fender-Lace Sensor pickups (neck/middle: gold; bridge: silver) into an ‘86-’88 ProCo Rat (the black pedal), then into MI Audio Crunch Box (the red pedal). Both pedals are true bypass so I daisy chained instead of using a/b switch. Then into a Pignose B100V amp head, into a Yamaha S412 4×12 cab loaded with Celestions.

For the first 5 minutes 40 seconds the amp is on about 5 (loud enough to play with a drummer–thus some of the unwanted feedback you hear early on, as I was standing two feet from the amp/speakers–single coil pickups are naturally pretty noisy, but neither pedal is noisier than the average distortion pedal; I’ll say the Crunch Box is slightly quieter than the Rat in actual use). All tone knobs on the amp are around 5 (approximately flat). Yes this is a bass head, a Dennis Kager designed clone of the famous Ampeg B15 flip top but with four 6L6 power tubes instead of two. It’s just a very solid clean tube head that passes the true tone of any guitar or bass right on through with minimal coloration, so I use it as much for guitar as for bass, and it’s ideal for comparing these pedals.

This Crunch Box is an early ‘06 model, before they added an internal trim pot to boost highs / cut lows and changed the volume and tone pots within weeks of release. So I have the volume in the bottom 1/4 of its range for unity gain (newer models have unity gain closer to the middle of the pot’s range evidently); I have the tone knob cranked to maximum treble…which on this pedal makes it just about a transparent (flat) EQ to my ears. If anything it still sounds like the treble is rolled off just slightly, which for distortion is fine with me, I don’t feel the need for any more treble or any less bottom. However in a mix I would cut some bottom at mixdown with EITHER pedal, to carve space for the kick drum and bass guitar.

Recorded with a Shure SM57 mic in my downstairs furnished living room. The mic is about four inches out from the speaker, halfway between the dome and the edge. Then to M-Audio DMP3 mic preamp, M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card, to hard drive of HP Pavilion PC, using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 editing software. No compression, EQ, or other effects added beyond these pedals. The pedals themselves do add some compression when engaged, which is typical and even desirable for distortion pedals; and youtube presumably compresses audio to some degree even on the high quality setting.

After 5:40 is some raw footage earlier that day. The amp is turned up a little louder, thus the easier feedback action. You can also see the Pignose head sitting back there between the Marshall combo and the blueface Acoustic 150, in the plywood box I built for it. The audio in this section is from the built in mic on the Canon SD200 pocket camera I shot all this video with (great camera mic, I use it all the time to capture song ideas). I think I did have the midrange on the amp boosted some too in this later section.

Great pedals.

Alberta is quite unique; she makes your guitar sing.
She provides instant access to the kind of warm overdrive and emotive distortion usually reserved for 30-year-old tube amps. Alberta delivers a creamy, yet crunchy sound with a smooth mid-range boost, reminiscent of the old Ibanez TS-808.

Recorded with a Neumann U87 into a Great River Electronics MP-2NV and Coles 4038, into a Chandler TG2, and finally a Lynx Aurora 16 AD Converter

www.ProGuitarShop.com-The Seymour Duncan Lava Box was designed to react more like a tube amplifier than an actual distortion pedal. The SFX-05 has exceptional dynamics and harmonic response as well as superior string separation and volume knob response. It truly is like plugging into an overdriven amp! The Lava Box has a large amount of gain for super saturated fun and also a large amount of volume boost so it can double as a clean boost pedal as well. The most unique feature of the Lava Box distortion pedal is the 6 position Rumble selector. This is a bass roll-off contol with cutoff frequencies at: 620Hz, 520Hz, 330Hz, 300Hz, 210Hz, and 160Hz.

The first thing you will notice about the Seymour Duncan SFX-05 is the warmth. It sounds like a great tube amp being pushed too hard. The dynamics are responsive and the low end is tight. Pick lightly and it cleans up, pick hard and it really goes through the roof. The Rumble selector lets you tailor the Lava Box to your guitar. It makes single coils thunderous and humbuckers lean with midrange bliss. Truly a unique pedal the Seymour Duncan SFX05 Lava Box distortion / overdrive pedal is a monster pedal for a monster sound.
