The Chorus Pedal For Chorus Pedal Haters
The random orbit or warble is controlled chaos that is captivating, but settings allow it to serve as a regular chorus and tone sweetener. It’s my favorite pedal ever. I’ve always hated chorus pedals but the tone, achievable darkness, and the versatility of this pedal is really cool.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Try true north on all knobs except rate (3:00) and damper (9:00).

Diamond Compressor Excellence
It’s a remarkably quiet compressor that can do its job without being recognized. It’s not a tone killer like every compressor that preceded it on my board.

Always On
Personally I think it’s a mistake to use the Black Box Classic as a dirt pedal. I use it as an always on pedal that sweetens the tone and takes an edge off the ice pick highs. When I use it with either of my KT66 amps (Carr Original Mercury 8W or Silktone 1x12 Amp), it sounds like a true Bluesbreaker. Pairs well with boosts and preamps (for me an Xotic EP Boost before the Snouse, and a Benson Preamp after the Snouse). That will get you the Beano tone.

Original Carr Mercury 8-Watt
There are three drive channels on this amp. An exquisite clean and two dirty options. The dirty options are a total tone suck. I keep the amp in clean mode at all times and use a Benson Preamp when necessary for drive. I haven't owned a Mercury V but I've played one at a local shop. These are two different beasts. I'm surprised the new version kept the name. I don't like the V as much as I do the Original 8-Watt.
