The PXO was created as a live or studio tool. When we sent Phil the overdrive sample he found that it saved him in backline situations and provided him a drive that plays well with others.
The PXO is an overdrive/boost where you can select pre or post giving you variety in how you want to boost, EQ and overdrive. We have provided standard controls on the overdrive side such as Volume/Gain/Overdrive and EQ but on the boost side you have a separate Tilt EQ that allows you to EQ with simplicity.
You can experiment by cascading in a pre or post situation and experiment from there. The PXO has a lush, thick feel to the bottom end and a smooth top end that begs you to dig into the note.
Volume: Controls the overall output but is interactive with the gain control
Treble: Controls the top end without losing clarity
Gain: Controls the amount of gain and is interactive with the volume control
Bass: Controls the bottom end and lives in the lower frequency of guitar.
Level: Controls the output level for the boost. Can be cascaded with the drive side for more gain, volume and sustain.
Tilt EQ: Controls the overall EQ of the boost. Turn clockwise and it reduces the bottom end and increases the top end. Turn counterclockwise and it reduces top end and increases the bottom end. Also works when cascaded with the Overdrive side
Boost Switch: Foot switch engages and disengages the boost effect
Drive Switch: Foot switch engages and disengages the overdrive effect
