The Seymour Duncan SFX-05 Lava Box Distortion pedal gives you an amazing amount of control, as well as some killer tones! You can use your guitar's volume knob to get a rich palette of overdrive and distortion tones out of the SFX-05 Lava Box Distortion. A 6-position "Rumble" bass roll-off control adds even more dimension to this pedal's capabilities, allowing you go get everything from searing lead sounds to subtle sparkle to spooky effects. If you're looking for a pedal that reacts to your dynamics and guitar volume, the SFX-05 Lava Box Distortion is ready to let your guitar erupt!





Seymour Duncan SFX-05 Lava Box Distortion Pedal at a Glance:
  • A versatile overdrive
  • Bass roll-off control

A versatile overdrive
The Lava Box features Mosfet distortion/overdrive with incredible dynamic range. Even at the highest gain settings, you can turn down your guitar's volume control and the Lava Box will clean up beautifully. Onstage, you can set the Lava Box for a loud lead tone and simply use your guitar's volume control to get your clean and crunch tones - all without switching channels or kicking in other effects. In the studio, you can explore the huge array of tones that are available with this pedal's intuitive controls, creating special-effect thin tones or spooky dark sounds that are perfect for layering and overdubs.


Bass roll-off control
The six-position "Rumble" bass roll-off control changes the sonic character of the Lava Box's distortion for a huge range of tones, from bright and spanky to deep and warm. Whether you have the thinnest single-coil in the bridge of your guitar or the woolliest humbucker in the neck, there is a Rumble setting that's perfect for it.
