Just thought I'd share my thoughts on a new drive Pedal I've just bought. The MI Super Crunch Box now sits on my pedal board with a BB Preamp and Suhr Riot feeding a Carr Slant 6V combo. I'd never sell the BB as it does the low gain crunch thing so well. However the SCB is giving the Suhr a run for it's money already. It can do everything the Riot can easily but just with so much more versatility and 'life' in the sound. For a start the 3-position comp switch takes it from Riot style heavy crunch through to super saturated gain laden OD, fab! It has a tone knob, fair enough, but the presence control is what turns it into a Marshall-in-a-box. £99 from Andertons for this (smaller than expected) box of overdrive fun is IMO a steal.

The super crunch box is also a good improvement to Mooer cruncher I had
and yeah the supercrunchbox has a fair few extra switches etc. over the bog standard crunch box
I like it on lower gain. I have to be careful if I turn the gain up though: it's the kind of pedal where I'm liable to pick up Heathrow Air Traffic Control or Beijing Drivetime.
Really? Either way I'm thinking of getting rid (and getting a radio scanner to eavesdrop on ATC instead).
