1.Input Jack – Plug in your guitar here.

2.Output Jack – Provides the output signal. Run a cable from this jack to the input of a guitar amp or to the input of the next effect in your chain.

3.Power Jack –This is where you can connect a Seymour Duncan regulated 9-volt DC adapter if you opt not to run the Lava Box on a 9-volt battery.

The Lava Box is an incredibly flexible effect and, as a result, it can be worked into your setup in a variety of ways. Let’s examine a couple of possibilities.

Take the ¼” mono instrument cable from your guitar and plug it into the Lava Box’s Input jack. Run another cable from the Lava Box’s Output jack to the input of your amplifier. Set the Volume and Rumble knobs fully counterclockwise, turn the Gain to 12:00 for starters, hit the On/Bypass footswitch, and gradually bring the Volume control up.You should be greeted with a bright, punchy tone with a great squawk. Go through the other Rumble settings and hear how more low end kicks in with each subsequent click. Rotating the Gain control will give you cleaner or dirtier versions of these tones.

If you have other stompboxes in your chain, such as wah-wah or chorus pedals, experiment with placing the Lava Box before or after them. You can’t really go wrong, but the character of the Lava Box effect will change depending on where you put it in your signal chain, so see what sounds best to you.
