On the program, a Marshall-ian pedal that recreates the best of “Plexi Bright” sounds.
Light to handle (it's an advantage), the Smallbox comes in a pretty box with a small fabric bag and marketing that goes well, it's always appreciated. The case is nice and the aesthetics of the pedal is very reminiscent of the brand's graphic charter. On the program, a 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid and Treble), a Presence control, a mini Gain Structure toggle switch which will allow you to act on the amount of gain by adding an additional gain stage. And finally, the usual Volume and Gain. Note, the pedal can be powered by 9-18V for maximum headroom.
Super Strat on your knees, Two-Rock Studio Signature amp in ultra clean mode, here's a good base for using the Smallbox. Concretely, it is really between the BE-OD and the Dirty Shirley. We have less gain, less compression than the BE, but we get a more open and versatile grain, without really losing the big sound. The frequency range is also different, with a slightly more forward high end and a less tight low end. It is therefore a high-gain pedal, but more oriented hard-rock, edgy blues than "metal" as does the BE-OD. Just imagine a more vintage BE-OD with a more airy and therefore more versatile drive.
The pedal sends heavy, it perfectly cleans the volume knob and is more progressive in terms of Gain and EQ settings, where the BE wants to be more “binary”. The EQ is very reactive, the Presence knob allows you to lighten the drive more or less without overloading the treble, and the Gain structure switch allows either to have a more classic rock oriented mod, or more 80's high-gain.
The Friedman Small Box delivers the best of Marshall sounds with always its "boosted" side and this characteristic compression of the brand's products. Note, it is offered at a relatively affordable price for boutique / high-end, which makes it even more essential!
