 "Tonally Nintendo!" 2010-09-28
By dutybot
Seeing as how most kids today like their drop D tuning, this might be a little tougher to obtain the amazing sounds that this pedal is capible of. I on the other hand, still play old school standard tuning, and alot of jazz chords and rockabilly. The single note approach with this pedal can muster up some good glitchy nintendo sounds.



The best feature of the pedal for me is when playing higher on the fret board (and higher strings) you can make your guitar sound like a synth bass. It's a really fun pedal and a great tool to inspire the musician who might be in a dry spell.



I have the "block" logo version of this pedal. I have heard that there may be subtle differences in the circuitry, but none have proven it.



In the future, I'd like to see the good folks at Jim Dunlop to re-release this pedal as the Blue Box II, with a mod button to help track the subs a little tighter, for the musician who would like to use it for more straight forward octave distortion. Kinda like using the MXR Bass Octave deluxe before an MXR Doubleshot Distortion (Top Channel).



Summary...Buy it.

 "Useful once you learn its quirks" 2010-05-17

There's a slight volume drop when you activate the pedal. While there are mods out there to reconcile this (the C11 mod), they don't work on the newer Blue Box models (any model with a red PCB). To compensate for the drop, I placed the Blue Box before my clean boost pedal (an MXR Micro Amp, which is always on). Now the volume is spot-on, and can even make my overall signal louder.



The octave setting (mix knob at 0) sounds quite good, but the tracking is a bit off. Use the neck pickup and play above the 12th fret for better tracking. The fuzz setting (mix knob at 100) sound great too. This is how I use the pedal. So far, I'm not too fond of the settings in between, but they are definitely usable in certain situations.

 "Truely unique pedal effect." 2008-05-04
By Tejan C. Schaar
I began looking for this effect after listening to Led Zepplin's "Fool in the Rain". After finding out that this was the effect that Jimmy Page had used I just had to have it. Not only did I get it very fast but for less than all of the other online music stores were asking for. It does take some getting used to(as far as the adjustments are concerned), but that was half the fun. The range of different sounds it produces isn't very broad & is not for everyone, but if you like odd 70's type electronic sounds coming from your guitar, you should be very happy to own one of these

Like all MXR effects it is made well, but has limited application. Settings can not be duplicated and tend to "drift" after selection. Shipping through the dealer was done very well; I will not hesitate to buy other products from American Musical Supply.

 "MXR M103 Blue Box Fuzz/Octave Pedal" 2007-02-07
By Luis A. Bermejo (D.R.)
well made. when you roll the right knob all the way to 5 o'clock you get a fuzz sound .. roll it to 7 o'clock you get a octave, everything between both is a mix of fuzz & octave.. the left knob controls the output volume. it also mixes the fuzz octave sound , it also changes very fast i mean one second fuzz and the other oct .. that fast.. from oct to fuzz you can hear it way on the back but it's there.. its hard to describe but if you're reading about it maybe its for you. the only thing i dont like is that if im playing the clean channel and then activate the blue box with the volume set a maximun, the sound coming out is lower than that when playing clean .. therefore youre gonna sound lower when you turn it on.. to solve that i use a compressor but i'd still have to press one first and then the other in order to get the same amount of volume as playing the clean channel alone.

 "Bought it...would recommend it to anyone that likes crazy sound(s)" 2010-05-17
By R. Thompson II (Mishawaka, IN United States)
I will admit to not being the most proficient at playing guitar, but I like to "try" and sound like a song if I am learning it via tab or by ear. One thing that has always gotten me is the fact that I just am used to standard tuning or drop D tuning, being that those are the easiest. So what about the Morpheus? Well, I also own a Digitech Whammy Pedal, so I understand taking one string and knocking it down, but the Morpheus Droptune allows for all the strings (at once) to play.



What does all this mean?



Okay, say you like Black Sabbath, Slayer or Slipknot, they all tune down at some point in time, so how to do this, especially if you don't want to spend time re-tuning after you get bored trying to play someone else's sound? Well, as soon as you turn it on, it is a half step down, strum a chord, yep, it's a half step down..then hit the "down" button on the left...yep, down another half step, all the way to three and a half steps. Of course the metal guys drop D, then tune down, so go ahead, do that...you sound like your favorite band. Now the pedal is actually a "cheat"...should you learn to do your own tunings, of course you should. Should you, with a whammy bar, learn how to adjust your guitar? Yes you should...but after years and years of playing and not getting much fulfillment from my lack of "sounding" like the song that I am trying to play, this helped get me in tune right away.



Of course you still have to have a decent ear, make sure your original tuning is good, because I believe my salesperson a Woodwind and Brasswind said this creates polyphonic pitch drops, which looking down at my pedal right now, indeed it says that. Just imagine if something is out of tune without effect, generally from my experience, the sounds don't get better with effects, unless distortion is involved. But you'll still sound terrible if you don't know how to tune your guitar right, sounds really basic, but after seeing that there are guitars with robot tuners out there, I'm pretty sure the art of tuning your own guitar will be gone in a decade too. So just tune clean, no effect on, then turn on the effect.



There is a cool middle button that allows for you to go up a half step while the effect is on, kinda cool, but really just for effect...if you want to build a riff around that, cool, but I believe Tom Morello already did that. Also once the effect is on, you can only go down on the pedal, so this could be an issue for an active on stage guitarist, but I doubt that you'll be kicking your own effects, that is more likely going to be your klutzy singer.



I will recommend this to anyone at all that amplifies their guitar, clean or distorted, but accept the fact that on the clean sounds, you'll get more of an odd sound (slight warble, but it does exist if your are going to tune three steps down....it really does go three steps and a half down. I know...shocking) What I might suggest is learning how to feel comfortable with tuning down a half or whole step on your guitar, then setting the pedal to two whole steps down, I believe your sound will not be degraded on the clean effect.





Mine was worth every penny and when I did combine it with my whammy pedal, I was able to create some wicked tones through a line-6 spider III. My "rig" isn't something to "behold" for those with the bucks or the drive to spend every last dollar on guitar related equipment, so if it sounds nice/great on my rig, I can only imagine what it will sound like on a really nice set up. (Not dissing my own stuff, but I do know that there are a lot of people out there with more in-depth set-ups) Buy it...or at least try it out.
