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

Here’s a clip of the MXR Distortion + effects pedal in all of its ugly yellow glory. I recorded this when I was 16 with a ‘93 Stratocaster and a Behringer GM110.

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.

Cool Cat Distortion – inexpensive, true bypass, metal casing. Great tone. The knobs are located in a somewhat awkward spot, but otherwise this pedal rocks.
Guitar used: Suhr Classic (single-coils) but it also sounds great with a humbucker guitar.

I am sorry it took so long .
This is supposed to be my demo of the Nady TD-1 tube distortion box.
There are troubles with the mic connection ..
It may look like I fix the noise with my hand but it’s more like my butt hitting the mic cable.
Starts clean.
I I start with my basic amp sound.
Dropped D jamming on my Tele Elite with active preamp , low imp. pickups and active TBX and MDX used here. A very loud guitar ( See my band vids ) Showing how controllable this sound is.
Using a Boss delay Digitech Delay, Boss PS5 Supershifter and a Boss compressor. Rocktron Austin Gold at the end of the chain but I’m not using it much.
I then turn it up .
Mesa Boogie subway Blues on 2 (7;30 on a clock face) with external closed cab mic’d with Sennheiser e609s
right into my camera . You can sort of see the settings and when I turn the Knobs.
For about the first minute the gain is in lower range . then I do a long time on the middle range which is where I live. By 4 minutes I am up in the high range.
I am also using the MDX on my guitar which adds 20 or so db hehe.
Thanks
Jim
