New Version 2 Firmware Inside
Your Black Box has been upgraded to our new version 2 firmware, making it far more powerful than before at no extra cost. If you’re
familiar with the original Black Box, the principal new features are:
<
The number of amp models is increased from 12 to 40 and the original amps have been improved to be more accurate. Plus,
we’ve included four classic bass amps, a fuzz tone and an octave fuzz.
<
The number of effect types is increased from 43 to 121. In addition to new variations of the existing effects, we’ve added
lots more of Black Box’s unique filter sequences, tremolo sequences and arpeggio sequences, as well as great new effects like
rotary, vibrato, auto-pan, talk pedal, volume swell, fixed filters and even a few sci-fi effects.
<
Myraid enhancements to existing features.
