Rainger FX Break Box User Manual

BREAK BOX - USER MANUAL
Congratulations on buying the Break Box - another unique guitar
effects pedal from Rainger FX!
The Break Box is a distortion pedal, deceptively simple - with massive
gain, and with some interesting tricks up its sleeve. The drive circuit is
based on our 'El Distorto' overdrive pedal (long discontinued), but
expanded with the back half of the Tonebender circuit we used for our
Freakenbender collaboration with Colorsound.
It also has 'active sustain' - a chorus effect fading in after about one
second which gives extra lift to a held note or chord... Like a wave
coming from behind and pushing you onwards!
Plus you can switch your guitar to trigger a vinyl record scratch sound -
internally generated - like a DJ cueing up the guitar track that follows!
It also has a built-in noise gate - to keep the sound totally quiet when
you're not playing.
It's an analogue/digital hybrid, the distortion circuit being totally
analogue.
CONTROLS
VOL; this controls the pedals output volume, of which it has plenty!
TONE; this is the tonebender tonestack, configured to provide deeper
low end and searing highs - and with a less scooped sound than in its
original usage.
GAIN; this knob is used to provide anything from a loose gritty
overdrive up to over-the-edge distortion.
