Members RyanDC Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 Anyone have any clips? I might trade my octavemultiplexer for a blue box but wanna now how they sound together. Does the blue box work on chords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 Blue box works great on chords,Ive never had a fuzz that dont and cant understand why people say fuzz is {censored} with chords,my woolly mammoth is great with chords.

Members T ned Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 Blue Box is mud on chords unless the blend is dialed out...Also, it's got a volume drop that is annoying as hell (even after the mod I can't remember the name of), so much so that it's hard to use it in live situations w/o a boost of some kind after it... I run my Big Muff after it, but that kind of muddies up the effect of the BB. But I have a tendency to crank the sustain on the Muff, so maybe if you dimmed the sustain it wouldn't affect it as much... It's too bad about the volume drop, cuz I really like the sound I get out of it...It would be good for recording, but by itself in gigs, it's hard to justify keeping it on my board...'cept for that one solo the rest of the band quiets down for...

Members homestar_kevin Posted June 30, 2007 Members Share Posted June 30, 2007 I think it works great with chords. It's one of the effects that you have to play with to fully appreciate, but it's probably my favorite pedal that I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lone Flanger Posted July 2, 2007 Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 I think the combination of Gtr - Blue Box - Big Muff - Amp sounds weird. I can't really describe it 100%, but it seemed to take a lot of definition out of what was being played thru it. However, throwing a lighter distortion pedal between the Blue Box and Big Muff (and maybe even a wah) makes it sound normal and pretty gigantic. It's really noisy though. I think rolling the tone control back on the guitar and maybe using the neck pickup works really well on the Blue Box as far as tracking is concerned. That's my experience, at least. I was using a NYC RI BMP and a RI Blue Box. I also used a DS-1 and a Rat between them, along with a Digitech Synth Wah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
