NPD Box of Rocks
I wanted a different flavor of dirt box a few months ago, so I tried about five OD and Distortion pedals at a nearby shop. This one just blew me away, but then so did the price tag! So since I couldn't get the ZVEX, I just passed on the dirt pedals entirely and I ended up with a very nice chorus pedal.
I kept thinking about that damn Box of Rocks and when I finally had some extra $$$ I went in today and paid the ridiculous price. It immediately rendered all of my other dirt boxes obsolete, so I guess I'll sell 'em and get back some of my money that way.
This thing really nails the cranked Marshall sound, but I also really like the lower-gain settings, just at the edge of breaking up. The full tone of the guitar gets through without that squashed, processed, buzzy sound that a lot of pedals cause. Needless to say, the Tele sounds awesome through this thing.
