CONTROLSFEATURES
Mercury Box is the new Brunetti
overdrive/distortion stomp box.
A small metallic box holds together the qualities of
the well-known CustomWork Mercury’s channel 2!
It is endowed with “FET” technology to reproduce tubes
behavior and dynamics as accurately as possible.
Mercury Box is extremely versatile, you can move
from clear and defined crunch sounds to hard rock
“liquid” distortion which is always clean and never
shapeless, very smooth and respectful of your
instrument timbre, even at high gain levels.
Controls are soft and sentive, but effective
at the same time. They indeed interact
thoroughly as in a real tube amplifier.
Mercury Box arises from careful design and
long lasting research of Marco Brunetti, and the
outcome is innovative and technologically unique.
It is not the upgraded clone of a well-know stomp box!
These qualities make Mercury Box different, we
are sure you will be impressed at first note!
A - True-bypass switch to turn the effect on and off: when Mercury Box is off,
it does not alter the original signal
B - Output jack to the amp
C - Input jack from the guitar
D - Standard “BOSS” connector for DC 9V (center pin negative).
