Posted about an EQ, asked about a Distortion pedal

Naturally, the conversation couldn't have been about the EQ.

That said, here is a "as fast as I can" YouTube on the Washburn Accelerator Series A-D3 Stack-In-A-Box (circa 1983 or so)

First takes, no EQ. Fender Lonestar with PG+ Bridge into Peavey Express 112, and the Stack-In-A-Box. SM57 center cone, into Scarlett.

I didn't fiddle with the knobs much because they don't do much until you hit the extremes. But you'll get the idea.

That is a great sounding distortion. I dig it.

It really doesn't have a lot of range. But if you want a "Stack" in a box, well, there you go. I used this for a log time (like all of the 80's and a bit of the 90's as my main dirt sound.

I'd say that is a great sounding pedal. I wonder if there was ever a modern clone of it.

Ditto for me.Back round 82-83, I started gigging 5-7 nights a week in top 40 bands, A brand new Washburn Stack In A Box was the only overdrive/distortion I used until a Real Tube came into my life around 86-87. Wished I would have kept that bad boy. I remember reading somewhere that it had two of the famed Tube Screamer chips in it. Don't know if that's true or not, but the tones I got with that little beauty
(and an Ibanez AD-9 of the same vintage) were pretty damn cool for the time.

Sounds good; real 80's!

reminds me of... Dio: Holy Diver!

That sounds pretty decent!
