1. Input Jack – Plug in your guitar here.
2. Output Jack – Provides the output signal. Run a cable from this jack to
the input of a guitar amp or to the input of the next effect in your chain.
3. Power Jack – This is where you can connect a Seymour Duncan
regulated 9-volt DC adapter if you opt not to run the Lava Box on a
9-volt battery.
The Lava Box is an incredibly flexible effect and, as a result, it can be
worked into your setup in a variety of ways. Let’s examine a couple
of possibilities.
Take the ¼” mono instrument cable from your guitar and plug it into the
Lava Box’s Input jack. Run another cable from the Lava Box’s Output jack
to the input of your amplifier. Set the Volume and Rumble knobs fully
counterclockwise, turn the Gain to 12:00 for starters, hit the On/Bypass
footswitch, and gradually bring the Volume control up. You should be
greeted with a bright, punchy tone with a great squawk. Go through the
other Rumble settings and hear how more low end kicks in with each
subsequent click. Rotating the Gain control will give you cleaner or dirtier
versions of these tones.
If you have other stompboxes in your chain, such as wah-wah or chorus
pedals, experiment with placing the Lava Box before or after them.
You can’t really go wrong, but the character of the Lava Box effect will
change depending on where you put it in your signal chain, so see what
sounds best to you.
