This distortion is peculiar, its sound definitely encompasses the 90s more than any other generation, but it works well for everything.
It is not an unforgettable sound but neither is it indifferent.
Several asked me what distortion I was using when I had it on my pedalboard.
I still have it and use it as my trusty second choice to go with whatever my first choice is at the time: PlimSoul, Daddy'O, Guv'nor2+, RAT.

"This song has really come along and it is very special in guitar textures. We didn't get too crazy with pedals but did have fun checking out the new Duncan designed LAVA BOX."
R. Bachman in 2010 : “I recently added some Seymour Duncan pedals to my stage and studio arsenal and I have to say that SD has done it again. The Twin-Tube Overdrive, the Lava Box and the Power Grid really rock. They are made like tanks and make rock and roll sound like it should. “
