OVERDRIVE- ZVEX EFFECTS Box Of Rock- still a favourite ???

 ZVEX EFFECTS BOX OF ROCK 
$220.00 USD
This was a Marshall-in-a-Box before the term was even created. It has been a steady seller for 14 years.The idea was to capture the sound of a '66 Marshall JTM 45.
The layout is simple with a volume, tone and gain another control and footswitch provides a boost.
When it arrived 14 years ago a serious pedalboard was not a 'thing'. Most players only few pedals and any board was just that ...a small piece of raw plywood. the results for years the pedal designed to used horizontal to give easier access to the switches. Keeping with the times a vertical enclosure is also offered.
CONCLUSION
It still sounds impressive but these days there are dozens as good or better. It is certainly a bit muddy but so is the '66 JTM amp that it claims to clone. The video I chose is a comparison to the LPD Pedals Sixty8. Which is probably one of the best takes on a take on a '68 Plexi. 
It was the Amp that replaced the JTM45 when it arrived.
