I dig the ZVex Box of Rock. So maybe try a Distotron? I think there was one in BST...

get yourself an old Distortion+, from before they had the LED on. they were good enough for Bob Mould, Jerry Garcia, and Randy Rhoads; they're good enough for you and me, too

i second this! the early D+ is pretty badass, they were good enough for Rowland S. Howard too!
get one of those and mod it to true bypass, or get an EQD white light.

I'm gonna ask someone to make me a box of rock clone I think. Probably Snakes fx, but I guess we'll see

I had Mike at Rhythm and Detonation make me a box of rock clone, it rules. He hand etched the board and all that good stuff. Here is a picture of mine, he can do whatever paint color/graphic you want it's included.

Probably let you add that distotron filter to cut some bass (afaik the only differences between BOR and Distotron). I find it quite handy to have it not all that booming in the bass. The dynamic of the BOR is pretty great - didn't expect it to be that good.

I tried a Distotron when I purchased my amp at the store.
It's a great Marshallesque drive pedal... lots of option with the switches.
Distotron and Mastotron are both great pedal from ZVex.
I'm not a fan of the more expensive ZVex pedal.

The difference between the BOR and the distortron is the BOR has a clean boost which I find pretty sweet.
