The Rockbox Boiling Point

[doc7string]

Just bought mine 1 hour ago. It is the first overdrive pedal that I have ever used that doesn't sound like a pedal. It is truly amazing. As far as the previous comment of only needing a great tube amp, My Bogner Shiva sounds great alone, but even better with the Boiling Point connected. Its like getting the best overdrive with and exceptional EQ for free. Gotta go time to do some more tone dialing.

[mrflip321go]

sounds fuckin awesome !!

[donosogutierrez]

Hi, do you guys think it can sound good with a rothwell hellbender?? would love to hear both of them stacked together!!!! I would really like to know this before ordering this from Argentina. Thanks in advance, jp

[AlvisLiquid]

Andy standing up. Thats how awesome it is.

[grooveinthestate]

Hi, do you think this pedal can sound like an Appetit for destruction tone ? because I can't choose between Wampler plexstortion, pinnacle or this one ! This video is great !

[p9hunter]

Great pedal but in my opinion everything you need is a good tube amp !!!

[jointhearmy555]

why isn't this on the standout stompboxes page??

[Kaizeppelin]

I think the lovepedal kanji is just as good if not better and it's $170 less, u could buy a fuzz pedal with that money to go with it. Why isn't the Boiling point vid. Demo not working on PGS.com

[choobr549]

Hey man--tighten up those pants and remeber the tater goes in front!

[guitar77432]

Just ordered #1500 for christmas! I've been wanting this bad boy for ages. I'm so pumped. Thanks PGS!

[Lolguy88]

does this pedal come with a power supply

[anyday82]

i friggin want one

[PizzaToTheDome]

Sup dudes. I finally let my GAS take over and I ordered #1372 this past weekend. I will now have the Boiling Point and Blackout Effectors Twosome Dual Fuzz for distortion. What would be another great OD to compliment these two? I play an Epiphone Sheraton and a Gibson Nighthawk into a Fender Twin Reverb 65 Reissue. The Lovepedal Kalamazoo sounds really cool as a compliment to the Boiling Point. Keep rockin' PGS. You guys are the best.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@PizzaToTheDome - Very cool. We appreciate your support. We have been liking the Kalamazoo a lot, and have been using it a lot lately. It is highly recommended. Thanks again!

- PGS

[berry2mint]

@PizzaToTheDome - I have the BP and a Radial Tonebone Classic. I have a very versatile rig this way. Tonebone would soulnd great with your rig.

[GrowTheCaine]

@PizzaToTheDome WHY WOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE?!..........however a beano boost would kick ass cause it could push both of the two to do weird things and Analog Man stuff melts my brain from what ive found out from the Bi-Chorus they have

[Erock09291]

@PizzaToTheDome the Rockbox Red Dog compliments the Boiling Point well... if you're willing to pay 300some bucks for a boost

[Stratm69]

This pedal is just a modded TS808/Rat variant with a swirly paint job.

[ImprobableJoe]

Just got mine yesterday. It is the best overdrive I've ever owned, hands-down.

[STORYTASTIC]

ive owned about 300 pedals and amps..this is by far the best...

[letsgetcarriedaway]

Between this and my Kanji Eternity, I can get pretty much any tone I want. :D

[skurtix]

Doesn't sound like anything out of the ordinary to me

[yomerolya]

Is it comparable with the Lovepedal Kanji 9 or is this one better? BTW Excelente demos :D

[aawshred]

just got mine. best overdrive i've had, easily.

[lilnetty2]

amp?

[baghaturyan]

This thing is like the swiss army knife of OD/dist.

[JayDeeSG]

The lines being played with the strat at about 1:48 through 1:58 or so, wondering what the volume of the guitar was? Looks like the pedal was set at about 3o'clock in the Plexi mode. Just interested to know if the guitar was rolled back a bit for any of that. These sound like great, versatile OD's!

[ArtVandaleit]

what to love more? PGS or the Boiling Point lol

[Freiburg89]

right on outstitch!

[MrLUISlemy]

Is this a boost pedal or a over drive....cause i like it...but not sure if i want the boost part i guess i can turn the vol. down but still wanna know!!!thanks

!!

[MrLUISlemy]

Is this a boost pedal or a over drive....cuz i like it...but not sure if i want the boost part i guess i can turn the vol. down but still wanna know!!!thx!!

[wuhpa08]

Hey Andy! Any idea when the new batch is arriving?

[squid262]

2:15 Reminds me of Eric Johnson.

[roknfnrol]

I bought this pedal, it has a ton of gain!

[Sick1982]

@roknfnrol and a ton of volume too!! and sounds like heaven when stacked before most other pedals, really brings everything alive! you won't believe it, but when stacked before an MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe it pulls off more than decent metals tones too!

[popomczowzow]

Just because it's worth the money doesn't mean it isn't expensive as hell

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@popomczowzow Well said. It does sound incredible. But there is no way around it. This thing is expensive.

[popomczowzow]

@ProGuitarShopDemos And that's what tears me apart on this one haha

[key2yourhome]

Great job Zach!!

[IronHorse4642]

CHICK? WTF?

[hihihihihi55555]

Anyone have an estimate on when these will be back in stock??

[hihihihihi55555]

Does anyone have an estimate on when they will be back in stock??

[arnyarny77]

i play thru a line six solid state spider 3 i my pickups are dimarzio and a seymoure duncan, now i think its sounds good but i never really have played thru a quality tube amp, i may get a small fender amp and this rockbox boiling point, can anyone tell me if this setup would blow away a simple solid state amp??? thx for any imput!

[eddielang2]

Son, get a quality tube amp or any make, and this pedal, and it will excite your senses much more than your present set up. Go to a pawn shop or a used gear shop and find something old, that tickles your soul. Then buzz me to see if the price is reasonable. Put this pedal in front of it. Then the addiction will begin.

[andrew6string]

A Fender Blues Junior and a quality OD pedal should do you for starters. For OD/boost pedals I own the Xotic AC+, Xotic BB Preamp, Exotic EP Booster, CMATMODS SignaDrive. If you've looking for something to really rock, the AC+ and the SignaDrive are simply awesome. Haven't played the Boiling Point but there are no bad reviews on it so it's probably great too. The AC+ and the SignaDrive are much cheaper, and I can't imagine a much better sound though. Hope this helps.

[crice6505]

O HELL YES IT WOULD!

[BINDERxREVx]

@arnyarny77

i have the pedal and it actually sounds amazing over really any amp!!!! even solid state. If you have a good clean on your current amp, use the pedal and you will have an endless rage of overdrive!

[rrippp]

@arnyarny77 No - it should work fine. No need to worry about damaging the amp. I run huge levels of gain through my Fender solid state from various pedals, and have never had any problems.

[rrippp]

this sound is unprecedented for an analog pedal. incredible. i fuckin want one!!

[Seventy9TA]

I agree with outstitch... It gets old reading the comments about how stuff's so expensive. When are you people gonna learn you get what you pay for. If you cant afford it then get a job. If i wanted to hear this much whining i'd go to a daycare...

[Mastahboys]

sounds like fuzz

[jpmnlop]

At this price for a solid state drive, no!

[rockguitar019]

it's a tad overpriced for an overdrive pedal in my case. But another part of me says it's really a value for your money.

[mazsenior]

This pedal is simply amazing, and worth every penny I paid!

[flyingasian6669]

Plexi mode sounds perfect for an Eric Johnson sort of sound

[mikeguitargod14]

the Plexi Mode makes me wanna buy it even though i already have a GT-500

[libertyfalls]

at0:42 it sounds a lot like a two-rock amp.

[poondoonproductions]

wat was that first chord, it was sick

[pear500]

E5.

[KuriGuitar]

where do you buy this and whats the price??

[TheSAJ11]

@KuriGuitar LOL TRY PGS , you know the people who made this video !!!!!!! $ 350

[aliensarecool4]

what amp do you use for these videos?

[Boredguy82]

go to the website in the sidebar!

[joakorush2112]

wow very led zeppelin at the beginning. amazing pedal.

[LastXzIII]

May I know what the assymetry mode is? Actually...what is assymetry?

[erixoff]

Andy is the god of demo !

I too often want each pedal he demoes.

[blueskidd96]

Looks similar to GearManDudes Luther. Sounds AMAZING.

[gherkamum]

WoW love this

Great track

5******

Terry

[benjisaynomore]

What amp is this running through?

[Chumleh]

"Eh, Rockbox. Fuckin awesome, but I'm not gonna waste my time drooling over something I can't afford"

Thirty minutes later: "CAN'T! STOP! LISTENING!"

[lexist7]

asymmetrical.

[nickdohle]

I want one soo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But my job is a seasonal one and closed for the winter!! Save one for me Andy!!!

[sammyjsolocareer]

i want one to but im a little league umpire (laugh all u want i get paid $20 an hour) but i dont get paid till end of the season (nov 14.) but NOT SOON ENUF

[casperfren]

wtf cant belive this video have 4/5* ..??

deserves like 10/5

[poondoonproductions]

sounds likke the gemini

[Twistchawa]

I own the Jemini, and this thing annihilates it in ever category, except for on-fly-versatility.

[TheSAJ11]

@Twistchawa Jemini sucks compare to this .

[DeciBass91]

Dude, I'm lovin' the Mahogany HSS at the beginning there, such a beast guitar.

[nirvana922]

damn thats a nice video! Totally recommend this pedal.. i want to try it on a bass

[goldenaxeband]

Great.

[Geckoshred]

You shut the fuck up, asshole. Just because you like it doesn't mean everyone else has to.

[bigtophalloween]

WOW. Someone's got a Metal Zone up their ass...

[GuitarZephyr]

Erm.... yes. Yes it does. You wanna know why? Cause this thing is EPIC!

[outstitch]

Why Oh Why do people be negative based on the fact they can't afford it? "It's way too expensive for the average guitarist"... what the fuck does that mean?? So A farrari is way too expensive for an average driver?.... No, just the fact you can't afford it!!

I bought one....I'm a very average player...It sounds the Tits...Puts a big smile on my ugly face...I can afford it I work hard...shut the fuck up!

Everyone should own this pedal even if you are retarded or sub-mental!

[bigtophalloween]

You spelled Ferrari wrong...

[joesl8]

@outstitch I think you need to stop having sex with it!? And I have to agree with skurtix, it sounds o.k., about as good as any other OD I've owned but I can have about seven of them compared to this thing. Oh, and the comment from popomczowzow makes about as much sense as his name? You troglodytes need to go back to Harmony Central! If this pedal was under $150...I'd buy it.

[Wzwain]

Damn, is there anyone at PGS who can't play guitar like a badass?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Our bookkeeper. She doesn't even play. ; )

[tylerdwells]

@ProGuitarShopDemos I thought you guys said that everyone at PGS plays guitar?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@tylerdwells - Our bad. The Bookkeeper is the exception...and I don't think our mailman plays either : )

-PGS

[mikeygenao]

@ProGuitarShopDemos

LOL

[MrRG7321]

Dude those pedals are like 400$....thats as much as I payed for my guitar

[AntonOortmann]

well there are also guitars for over 2000$

[xVancha]

Zach's too good for these, I forgot anything was being demoed...My attention was solely on the playing. :P

[fundemun2]

This was a nice teaser! I would still prefer Andy/Scotty's more in-depth demonstrations though, especially to help decide whether to spend this much $ on an overdrive pedal.

[jonotiffers222]

Plexi mode.. vai muchhh?

[themennisspk]

stuff is way too expensive for the average guitarist.

[casperfren]

thats why you buy pedals ;P

[themennisspk]

this* stuff is way to expensive for the average guitarist.

better ;P

[edadmartin]

I like the new format,but think the other is necessary as well.mix them up,but andy is still the king of all demo !!

[brokensoul70]

That pedal sounds as good as it looks, I wish it was a little more budget friendly. There are not many pedals I would pay for at that pice. If I did not have other things I need at this time I would definitely consider buying this pedal.

[musicyontana2]

good pedal...\m/

andy? scotti? who play?...\m/

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

That's Zach, our graphic designer. Andy was shooting him with the hand held camera.

[JW93HB07]

That sounds so sick!

Whey to much for one pedal, but got knows if i had the cash!

What was the model of the first strat you used?

[SirWalskie]

that one actually looked like it was a G&L

[gidude73]

Sweet box but costs waaaaay too much.

[marcelmsl]

great video, and great tone.

[2020shredfest1980]

The Plexi mode sounds really nice...wht is this guy running the guitar into anyways ?

[SomewareMan]

Swirly Paint!!!

[rsl84416]

for the past couple years they've been luring me in with there awesome stuff. Now they've got me hooked and set.

[ndc7]

nice tone

[Imakid2000]

i think i may be in love with this pedal. unfortunately, 349 bucks is pretty steep. :/

[Beefgog]

i miss andy

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Well, we have 500 other video you can go watch.

[warioblast]

I DO NOT. Andy's demos have no soul.

[Ilovemyfender2]

wut

[xdivinebladex]

what a smooth drive

[dreamabyss]

ya, good vid. always hated the tech specs discussion. this is to the point.

[DemoColorScheme]

I actually always loved having Andy go into things. This made it all more personal etc.

So .. what happened? Is this a one time thing or did Andy leave?

[tcinpa37]

Andy just called this possibly the "holy grail" of OD stomps like 2 weeks ago, and he's doing those smackdowns. I don't think he left. Hell, that might've been him. Either way, he's doine demo's lately. I think PGS just has extra wood for this box. Nice as it is, 350$??? uhhh....

[najtrows]

i hope this is the way they do it now!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Nothing happened chief. Relax. Let us have some fun making our videos.

[DemoColorScheme]

Sure! Loved this style, very nicely shot and such a nice ambiance. It's nice to shake things up now and then!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Thanks. Sometimes we just want to make a video that we enjoy also. This was a fun one.

[MarkBrim]

like the new style of demo, and that pedal is pretty spectacular.

[iCerial]

do the rest of your vids like this :D

[Wzwain]

Are the setting on the Deluxe Reverb (specifically the amount of volume) the same for all the different settings on the Rockbox?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

The volume was the same. We changed the eq a bit when we switched guitars.

[MiLemonPie]

Sublime tone, and the look is so simple that almost hypnotizes me... and damn that G&L looks fantastic!

[vecinto]

Zach looks so legit in this video.

[popomczowzow]

I wanna see a video of the PG demo-ers boards. Especially Andy's.

Anyways, the boiling point is GREAT!

[speakercoilmusic]

I want one soooooo bad... They are sold out almost everywhere. There is one site online that has them, but they won't let you choose what it looks like. So screw that. I want to know what the one I will be getting looks like. Because some look AWESOME and some look kind of "bleh". They all sound amazing though.

[Dreamscapevirus]

wow really like this review style from you guys very quick and too the point with some cool settings kudos PGS really dug this demo

[BODYSNATCHER90]

Why didn't Andy and/or Scotty do the demo?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Scotty was to busy packing boxes, and Andy was behind the hand held camera.

[snouter]

Looks like they are sold out at the PGS site.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Yep. You have to be pretty quick on the draw to get one of these. They literally sell out in a matter of hours.

[JIMMYJIBLETS]

damn that sounds amazing

[domdabombabc]

That sounds very tube like, I'll probably be buying one soon.

[saltystudios]

Andy whered you go? This is good playing nonetheless, and, even if it is andy using a pick, I'm liking the old view better. It honestly doesnt seem like the same pedal thoughj. Almost too versatile to be believable.

[menga111]

this thing is a beast!

[savagesnephew]

we want pauly from guitar world! lol ;P

[jofussdean]

WE WANT ANDY

(copy and paste if you agree)

[8bigtubes]

No way in hell does Gilbert play like that!

[rsl84416]

Sounds fantastic. But I don't know if I could justify the 350 dollar price tag. But then again... maybe i could...

[FiveseveNp90]

So you're outsourcing now? :)

It actually sounds pretty good.

[JonnyRake]

sweet!

[ciclosonico]

We want Andy! ..and yes, this pedal too... :)

Killer sound indeed, 5*

[Jaredrock1996]

very nice but 350....

[guitartoneguru]

Perfect, exactly what i've been looking for!

[hendrixkixas]

Was that Scotty?

[33M33d]

i dont think so. i also dont think its andy. andy never uses a pick.

[Winklebott]

Oh my God........ Beautiful
