The ZVEX Effects Double Rock Vexter Distortion/Boost Pedal delivers the ultimate in versatile dual-channel overdrive and boost configurations, originally designed for J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and evolved into distortion/boost heaven for the public. This innovative pedal features two independent channels that can be configured as dual Box of Rock circuits, dual Super Hard-On boosters, or any combination thereof, providing unprecedented flexibility in a single boutique-quality stompbox. Perfect for players seeking maximum tonal versatility, cascaded gain stages, and the legendary ZVEX sound with professional-grade switching capabilities.
The Double Rock represents ZVEX's most versatile distortion and boost pedal, born from J. Mascis's request for two Box of Rock pedals in one enclosure with dual stomp switches. The final production version exceeds the original concept, offering enhanced functionality that allows each channel to be configured as either a Box of Rock-style distortion or a Super Hard-On-style transparent boost. This flexibility enables multiple classic ZVEX configurations in a single pedal.
Each channel features adjustable sub-frequencies similar to the Distortron, providing comprehensive low-end control that enhances both distortion and boost applications. The dual-channel design with independent switching enables seamless transitions between different gain stages or simultaneous operation for cascaded effects. Whether used as two distortion channels, dual boost stages, or mixed configurations, the Double Rock provides professional-grade switching and signal routing.
The versatile channel configurations include two Distortrons cascaded for massive gain, two Super Hard-Ons cascaded like a Super Duper 2-in-1 for transparent boost stacking, a Box of Rock with boost for enhanced versatility, or a Super Hard-On feeding into a Box of Rock for optimal gain staging. This adaptability makes the Double Rock essential for players who demand maximum flexibility without carrying multiple pedals.
