The
Crunch Box
Distortion is our take on high gain British amp distortion. Careful design and development has meant we have achieved our goal of creating a pedal which captures the huge crunch of a Marshall on steroids.
Simple and straightforward, with just Gain, Tone, Volume and an internal Presence control. The
Crunch Box has some similarities to the Tube Zone, in the sense that the design is based on a multiple clipping architecture (the signal is clipped 3 times). However, there are significant differences which make these two pedals sound quite different from each other. The Tube Zone is designed to have a very 'broad' sonic footprint. The
Crunch Box on the other hand has a strong mid-presence to it, similar to the great British amps. Also, the
Crunch Box has a relationship with the Blues Pro, since the tone shaping is similar to the Blues Pro.
