NPD MI Audio Super Crunch Box... Merry Xmas!

I have had my loose flubby fuzz needs covered but needed a high gain tight distortion for awhile now and santa brought me the goods. I got an MI audio Super Crunch Box!

To be honest I was not expecting much after watching the demos online, just sounded like a basic Marshall in a box pedal but with the lo and high gain switch and compression switch it has so much versatility and has internal 18 volt operation off a 9v adapter so the headroom and dynamics are crazy!

I plugged it in, set the gain to 1 o clock and the volume the same , high gain mode with compression 1 and it was a snarling tight chunky distortion reminiscent of the band Silverchair's Freakshow album in particular "Slave". It turned my clean 1966 Traynor YBA-1 with greenback cab into a JCM 800 cranked! I love it and seriously recommend it. I also got a zoom h2n so I will record some clips of it and post it here in the near future.

Hope everyone enjoyed Xmas and feel free to post what you got!

Cool! I'd love to try one. Lotsa knobs!

Wonder why something like this wasn't around in the 80s ya know?!

Congrats! I have one kicking around in case I ever need a hotrodded Marshall stompbox solution. It's the best MIAB pedal I've ever played, personally. And it's way better than the original Crunchbox. I also like it a LOT more than the much hyped Wampler Plextortion that I had for awhile.

Yeah I had the plextortion as well ... it cut too much bass and did not have a good output level for me so I ditched it.

Btw, did you take that pic, or is it just a random Google image? It looks killer sitting on a tangle of cables like that... I may steal that idea for future pedal photography for my site, haha.

Nah just got it off google! I plan on recording some a clip of the SCB today and post it here.
