Yes, it is the same circuit (the Box of Rock actually says "Distortron" above the drive section). It is different though in that it has a gain select switch (low/ high), so it is capable of much higher gain than the BOR (the low selection is the same gain sweep as the BOR) as well as great control over low gain tones. Also has a 3-way subs switch, which gives you the same level of bottom end as the BOR as well as a bit less and a lot more if you need it. I personally prefer it to the BOR because of the extra control. The best part of the circuit IMO is how well it cleans up with the volume knob - it retains the highs very well when rolling back and cleans up nicely.

That said, pedals are very subjective so it's probably best to try one out and see how you like it compared to what you already use. You may love it and then again you may hate it. ?

It's a shame you didn't know about it. Looks like I may have to do another one. ?
