Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
I've got one and it's a great pedal. I use it with either a Cornford Hellcat or MK50 and it gives me more drive options, though it works better with a cleanish sound. I use a Boss BCB60 and power via the built in supply without any problems, and the power socket is on the left hand side of the pedal. I doubt you'd regret getting this pedal! All the best.

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
Yup, a Boss power supply works perfectly.
Some Crunchbox clips.

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
Hey man, somethings wrong with my Crunchbox... mine sounds completely different to both yours and WahWah's! :lmao::laughing:
Cool clips man, great examples of what the box of crunch is all about.

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
I have one too and it sounds sooo good. The power supply on mine is on the end of the pedal at the top it says it can take 9 or 12 Volts dc. If you use the 12volt setting apparently you get more volume. Also there is a pot on the inside when you open the pedal up that you can turn to change the tone i haven't touched mine but just left it stock. It sounds up there with a good gain channel on an amp. Marshally for sure, it's also good for solo's it's very smooth when you use it that way,

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
One more thing i have tried both these, and the crunch box is far better in my opinion way more marshally and raw and authentic than the blues breaker. The bb-2 would be better for a boost. The jackhammer (by marshall) on the other hand is a very good hi gain jcm800 type pedal, heaps more bass than the crunch box and less mids.

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
what about the marshall guvnor. heard it can emulate the JCM800 sounds. how does this compare with the crunch box?
anyway, where can you get a crunch box? how much?

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
Argghhhhhh.... you're absolutely correct Dills, the power supply socket is on the top!! Just been messing with mine and realised what I'd posted... DOH.
It's the Keeley Fuzz Head that's on the side. Anyway, I adjusted the internal trim pot.. I think it's a presence control, I've tamed the top a bit and at the same time adjusted the Fuzz head to give a more Fuzzy sound. So bring on the next gig so I can try them at proper volume.

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
Now I'm confused...everyone else is referring to the Crunchbox, but you've been referring to the Fuzzhead, or was it just the fact that the power jack for the boxes is in different positions and you have been referring to the Crunchbox all along?

Re: MI Audio Crunch Box
Hey FAC, sorry... long day an' all! I have been talking about the box of crunch! It really is great, I was refering to the power socket... my early post stated the power socket was on the side of the Crunchbox, this is incorrect... it's on the top or if you like the same position as the boss pedals. I thought it was on the left hand side, but that's the Fuzz Head. Hope I've explained properly now and not confused you further? All the best.

The CB is a nice pedal. It's alittle bit one dimensional, and my main problem with it was the flabby bass responce on the high gain settings.

They can actually run on 18v as well. Mine sounded even better when it was powered at 18v.
