Crunch Box

The MI Audio Crunch Box is a high-gain distortion/overdrive pedal designed to emulate the classic British amp distortion. Here are the technical specifications and features:

- GAIN: Adjusts the amount of overdrive, with the actual drive dependent on the settings of the CLIP and MODE switches.
- VOL: Output volume control, also influenced by the CLIP switch setting.
- CLIP: A 3-position switch for choosing different clipping elements in the final gain stage to produce different tones.
- MODE: A switch to access three different levels of gain, shaping the frequency response of the pedal.
- PRES: A control for rolling off the top end of the pedal, affecting the tone.
- EQ: An active EQ section with LOW, MID, and HI controls, providing surgical precision over the tone.
- Power: The pedal is designed for 9V only and should not be run at higher voltages, with a current draw of about 20mA.

The pedal features a professionally powder-coated and silk-screened enclosure, measuring 4.3 * 2.2 inches. It also includes an internal presence control for adjusting the sonic footprint of the pedal.

The MI Audio Crunch Box is known for its strong mid-presence, touch sensitivity, and the ability to retain the character of different pickups, including single coils. It offers a wide range of tones, from classic rock rhythm sounds to singing lead tones, and is designed to provide high gain British distortion at its best.
