To mark ten years of pioneering tone-shaping technology, Haggerty's Music is thrilled to introduce an exclusive anniversary edition of the Colour Box, in a limited-edition colorway inspired by pro-audio aesthetics—available only until December 31, 2024! Once these are gone, they're gone for good, so don’t miss your chance to own this piece of sonic legacy.

The journey started back in 2012 with the vision for a revolutionary pedal that could capture the iconic “direct-in” electric guitar sound used by bands like the Beatles, Wilco, Spoon, and Steely Dan. Designed to bring the rich tonal character of a Neve console into a pedal, the Colour Box evolved from bold idea to studio-grade preamp, EQ, and distortion generator, compatible with a wide range of instruments. The Colour Box V2—crafted to bring studio magic to your rig.

Features/Specs

• Phantom power pass-through for condenser mics.
• EQ Shift Knobs for surgical tonal adjustments.
• A Hi/Lo switch for pristine clean headroom and versatility across genres.
• 100% clean signal capability for acoustic guitars.
• Silent switching to eliminate "pop" noises.
