The Knox V2 is a fantastic little box if you’re chasing that classic British amp distortion—think early Marshall stacks. It’s got a really sweet, musical overdrive and a surprisingly thick distortion when you crank the gain. Perfect for blues, classic rock, or anyone wanting a vintage-flavored drive.
