Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on Distortion & Overdrive
Well this pedal was a mixed bag. I've got an valve amp that I run on the edge of breakup - drop the volume on the guitar a tad and its clean - up full there's just a tad of hair. What I need is to be able to get a more overdriven sound at about the same level. My amp does overdrive really nicely but with a volume boost that I save for solos. So the Crunch box was intended to solve that problem. Firstly, I'd have to say that almost all overdirves are designed (and regularly demoed) to kick the front end of your amp - which means you are back overdriving the amp as well as the effect of the pedal - exactly what I don't want. The Crunch Box can solve that problem as it will give you a crunchy sound with no need for a gain increase to the amp. Sounds good? Well the problem the Crunch box has is a massive amount of compression. That's a problem for a batch of pedals in line on your board. The Crunch box does not pass you volume changes from that lovely cleanish boost pedal that I use for solos. Anything before the Crunch Box in the chain may as well not be there. So for me it was on the board for a day! Not a total success!Read full review
It works real great with other pedals. I love the way it kicks up my drives

This little gem is one seriously mean pedal! The Crunch Box keeps it simple with three knobs - volume, tone and gain - plus an internal presence trim pot (later versions have this on the outside). Despite the easy layout, the Crunch Box has a very wide variety of tones from mild overdrive to some serious distortion with great crunch in between. All in all, the Crunch Box is a wonderful addition to anyone's pedalboard - it's now my favourite drive. I found an immaculate used pedal, but even brand new, you get a load of bang for your buck. The Crunch Box is a boutique pedal at a killer price. Best of all - it's 100% Australian made!
great product at a great price!!
