Z. VEX DOUBLE ROCK Z. Vex effects aren’t really known for their subtlety. The Double Rock continues the fine tradition of standing out in the best possible way with two Box of Rock circuits in one pedal. Both of these can also be converted to the Super Hard On circuit, allowing you to have a wide array of distortion, overdrive, and boost tones at the tip of your toes, and you can even adjust the sub-frequencies. This pedal was originally created for J. Mascis, so you know it’s going to rock your socks off. If you’re into unique, one-of-a-kind artwork, snag one of the artist painted special editions. If you’re an economical rocker, you can opt for the Vexter series model to save some coin. Whichever one you get, turn it on, turn it up, and rock the night away. Which double dirt box fulfills your needs? Are you a hard rocker? Or do you just need some light overdrive with boost capability? Do you love bells and whistles, or do you prefer to keep it simple? However you like to play guitar, and whatever genres you like to dabble in, having a quality dual dirt box at your disposal can open up new sonic landscapes without over complicating your rig. If you have multiple dirt boxes, chances are you gravitate towards a couple favorites anyway, so just figure out which two-in-one pedal can get you there, fasten it to your board, and never look back. 20 TONE TALK // Dirt City USA: 7 Boxes with Double the Dirt
