Explanation of Controls
Front Panel
1.Volume – This control regulates the overall level of your signal when the effect is engaged. CAUTION:The Lava Box is capable of serious output so go easy with this control at first, starting at the fully counterclockwise position. Once you get the Volume knob past 10:00 or so, you’ll see what we mean.
2.Rumble –This 6-position rotary knob 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.
3.Gain – This knob adjusts the amount of distortion when the effect is engaged, from a punchy clean boost to a full-on roar.
4.True-Bypass Footswitch –This removes the circuit from your guitar’s signal chain, allowing your guitar’s signal to pass through the Lava Box without affecting your tone or gain.
