Tight Rhythm Tone
This is a great sound for power
chords and arpeggiated rhythm
lines alike. Hit it hard and it’s
dirty, pick soft (or roll your guitar’s
volume control back) and it cleans
up. Works equally well with
single-coils or humbuckers.
Screaming Lead Tone
This is a tone that will cut through
any mix with glorious midrange,
incredible detail, and endless
sustain. Roll your volume back
and it still cleans up like nobody’s
business. Use Rumble Setting #4
for humbucker, Setting #5 or #6 for
single coil.
Skinny Intro Tone
A great studio trick: Record the
intro to a song with this tone. When
the main riff hits, kick the Rumble
control up a few notches. Try it—
it works!
Sample Settings
The SFX-05 Lava Box is capable of a huge range of sounds, from subtle
overdrive textures to skinny special-effect tones to humongous, singing
lead sounds. The settings below are great starting points.
