37 SWR500 (based on SWR SM500 bass amp)
The SWR-500, upon which our model is based, is the successor to the world-famous SWR400, chosen by professionals for its well-
defined tone and graphic EQ. SWR amps have great, versatile sound and high, consistent quality and we’re proud to include it in the
Black Box’s arsenal.
38. FUZZ (fuzz tone)
This amp and stomp box hybrid gives you the sound of vintage fuzz tones like Fuzz Face with bass, mid and treble controls. Think
“American Woman” and create your own classic.
39. OCTAVE (based on Octave fuzz)
Here you’ll find the classic Octave Fuzz sound, heard on hits like “Purple Haze.” Excellent results are achieved on the high E string
above the 7th fret using the neck pickup.
40. MICPRE (a clean mic preamp)
Select this one to get the clean, warm sound of plugging directly into the console. Thought we don’t recommend drive settings
above 0, overdriving it will produce a sound similar to the opening of the Beatles’ “Revolution.” Don’t worry—this won’t damage the
circuitry...
