The ZVEX Effects Box of Rock is an extremely popular distortion pedal. Able to accurately imitate the iconic tones of a cranked Marshall JTM45 amp, the ZVEX Box of Rock's unique "Distortron" circuit delivers a stunning saturated sound and is extremely reactive to your playing dynamic – just as you'd expect from a vintage Marshall valve amp.

2-in-1 Design

Featuring two footswitches, the ZVEX Effects Box of Rock is essentially a 2-in-1 pedal with a boost side and full-out distortion channel. Able to use the two sides independently or together for thick unbridled gain – the Box of Rock gives you plenty of tonal options.

The ZVEX Box of Rock's high-headroom boost circuit offers plenty of extra volume, which can be controlled via the dedicated 'Boost' control. It's worth noting that the boost channel follows the distortion channel so that the distortion is able to hit your amp harder when both switches are engaged, offering a potent dose of "more" for solos and lead lines!

Marshall-Style Distortion

ZVEX Box of Rock pedal gets most of its appeal from its authentic, Marshall-style drive circuit. Punchy and clear with lots rich harmonic content, this powerful distortion channel can get the most out of practically any amplifier that it's plugged into. And once you’ve set your maximum amount of gain with the 'Drive' control, you can use your guitar’s volume control to adjust for the exact amount of distortion you need.

To influence the pedal's EQ, a single 'Tone' knob allows you to adjust the amount of treble. Keep it low for a smooth and vintage-like sound, or crank it higher to achieve and more contemporary tone with extra "bite" to cut through in a mix.

Brand

ZVEX Effects

In the current JustPedals catalogue, ZVEX Effects is represented by Fuzz Pedals, Distortion Pedals and Compressor Pedals. Current listings include Loop Gate, Vexter Mastotron and Vexter Distortron. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals use stronger or more deliberate clipping than a typical overdrive, adding harmonics, compression and sustain. Some are voiced for amp-like crunch, others for high-gain rhythm or a deliberately abrasive texture. Gain, tone, presence, resonance and output controls determine how the pedal interacts with the amplifier and pickups; a blend or noise gate can preserve clarity in heavier settings. Placement changes the result, so check whether the design is intended to push an amp, run into a clean platform or feed a direct cabinet simulation.

Boost

Boost pedals raise level, add gain or do both. A clean boost mostly preserves the source voice and pushes the next gain stage harder; a coloured boost changes the frequency balance as it lifts the level, while treble or mid boosts narrow the emphasis deliberately. Gain, output, tone, presence and headroom shape the result. Place the boost before overdrive for more clipping, after gain for more level, or into a clean amp when a louder signal is the aim.
