MI Effects: SUPER CRUNCH BOX V2

[@matthewallen6183]

It's always a good day when Brett has a review of the pedal you're interested in...

[@kowpow2259]

Brett, the pedal sounds great...but your playing is what's truly shining here. Outstanding!

[@Ston247]

The pedal "IS" that good.

[@jade5773]

I must of watched this video 20 times! Awesome playing and tone. I bought one of these and it is amazing! Thanks for such a great demo Brett.

[@timidater4803]

I think i watched more than 20 times!!!! Got to be my favorite pedals!!

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

Did you sell me a Fulltone Plimsoul about 3 years ago?

[@onzkicg]

how was it? I already got tubescreamer and Boss Sd1.. wonder if this still a good addition or excess. Thanks

[@joshrdealmusic]

Thank you for demoing this! I got excited when I saw the release of it, but hardly anyone talked about it or demoed it. It's finally sounding amazing on both the bridge and neck positions of a guitar, and that eq fixes all my complaints with the old models

[@sid17391]

One of the best pedal reviews online! Deciding between this and a Walrus Audio, iron horse

[@272needler]

Which did you end up with? I been thinking of the Iron Horse to replace my Rat, but always read that the Iron Horse is too bassy/muddy.

[@nycLPplayer]

JHS is watching this and preparing a "brand new offering"....the SUPER Angry Charlie

[@timidater4803]

HE HE!!!

[@Avalanche1368]

I have one of those.. Ya hit the "Angry Charlie" with a "Archer Ikon!"...Pure titillating tonal timbre..A real copious cadre of consummate crunch!

[@nycLPplayer]

yes but the archer doesn't pretend to be an original design ;)

[@JPMonstie]

In even better news: the latest Angry Charlie ATEF (Andy Timmons Episode IV) model will only be 3x the price of the SCB2 for the first 1500 customers!!!

[@inter3comp]

Jajajaja jajaja

[@shannonjones3714]

Excellent demo! Thank you for sharing your tasty chops with us!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Wow Brett. My favorite demo you have ever done. So Jazzy and Chill. ( for a while anyway ). Nothing like a Rhodes Elec Piano to solo over. You really showcased the Great Sound & Versatility of this pedal. Fantastic man.

[@BrettKingman]

Thank you, Michael. I'm very flattered. Cheers!

[@jade5773]

mine arrived today. Good Lordy Lord it sounds amazing!!

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

That sounds great. I need to buy one of those.

[@CQJR007]

Great playing Brett. Just bought this one. Now i want a Revstar 😉

[@diegoformaggio9993]

It's a fantastic video! Congratulations 👏👏😍😍😍😍. And , nice pedal, really good

[@Ston247]

I can't believe I almost sold mine. I sat down with it for 3 hours. It's probably the best OD/Dist. pedal I've ever played. I also have a modded OD-3, ODR-S, TS-10, TS-7, EQD Grey Channel. The Super Crunch Box V2 just beats them all. Brett's extended demo shows what it can really do. Dripping with soul and produces many, many tones. Just try one.

[@timidater4803]

incredible box!! Love it!!!! with a ton of ranges!!!

[@TomTom-zp3nr]

I have watched a few people try and show what this pedal can do and my God they made some horrible noises[ including Dan and Mick, sorry boys ] but you made music man and navigated the many sounds of this pedal with ease and grace, I think you just sold it and I am going to buy it on the basis of this video good on ya Mr Kingman.

[@martinzhou976]

I really like this tone, sound like Gary Mooer's tone , it is amazing.

[@gilbertostefan]

The best way to review a gear while playing, thank you so much, very helpfull!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

I had to come back to Watch this Again. Aside from: your "Most Tasty Playing" - the Incredible Versatility-of-Tones you got from this pedal was like Ear Candy !!! Brett - How Noisy is it ? I am torn between This . . . and the Amptweaker Tight Rock Pro ??? You Killed-It with the Solo work on this one man. Phenomenal.

[@Uncuffme]

thats amazing well played and magnificent tone

[@Erickchicas]

jhs just finished r&d on his new pedal lol

[@Cyndaquills]

Just got mine today. Really stellar box

[@SrDeMaFp]

Great tones here, Brett!

[@raycarlton5955]

Nice work Brett - This sounds like a big improvement over the early CXbox which I found way hot - could be tempted to grab one of these.

[@onzkicg]

@2:09 @3:52 @5:57 love that tone.. getting closer and closer to Santana sounding domain. Very versatile pedal many options.

[@tollan23]

I bought one of these when they came out and then sold it for some strange reason. Bought another about a year later and after comparing it with a number of other similar pedals I sold the 'others'. This is a seriously great pedal, but I wish they would redesign the box, it just looks cheap haha!!

[@kimmolingonheimo]

Superb playin, that Michael is a genius, I usually dont like crunch type pedals, but this one ( Ive orderd one) is a must have! I already have the Super Blues Pro n CrossOver..., both marvellous! : )

[@kimmolingonheimo]

I have to add this is the best demo of this pedal beacuse it starts with the lowest gain... ( so it CAN be used gain very low and still the tone is superb!!!)

[@mattgilbert7347]

Famous for its sustain. You can go away and have a cup of tea and it'll still be going.

[@Burkhimself]

You got killer licks, brother. Sounds great....

[@kimmolingonheimo]

Very Happy I got one, not only Marshally but a regular Swiss army knife! ( also have the Crossover V2, soo touch sensitive and sustainy!!!)

[@oldguyjammin9732]

I am looking at Plumes, BE-OD and ACharlie but this seems to beat them all. Great Review BK

[@jade5773]

Thanks for the great video Brett! Just ordered one!! Now I have to explain it to my wife...

[@stanmuso1]

Got one of these and think the uncompressed open mode high gain can be dialed in to sound and feel like an old mark 3 Mesa Boogie lead channel.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

That sounds really good! Very nice dirt box.

[@SLAMSTERDAMN]

This, a BOSS Angry Driver, a B.K.Butler Tube Driver, a Black Arts Toneworks Black Sheep & a Ramble FX Marvel 3 & I’m done shopping for dirt FOREVER!

[@t0dd707]

Great demo. PS I forget what a great guitar player you are. Thanks!

[@cronenbergj]

Does this and the Dawner Red Rox sound similar? From the demos, this sounds rawer and the red rox more smooth...

[@matimoksa]

Which one is better, Super Crunch Box, HotCake & Okko Diablo Gain+?

[@JJF10101957]

Beyond badass tone!

[@santanera2852]

muy buen guitarrista... !

[@djpgreek]

which do you like better Brett...this or Purple Plexifier

[@LoneWolfes]

If you were to have one pedal would you prefer the Super Crunch v2 or The Plexi Breed?

[@brucemarie3059]

I was on the fence. Bought ordered it after seeing this Now where do I get to learn how to play like you :-)? Fantastic playing Mate!

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Very nice, Brett...I don't see it on their website. Where can you purchase one? Thanks...

[@drsts000]

i think you could plug into a loaf of bread and make it sound great. are you going to get the axe fx 3? great job

[@BrettKingman]

Ha! Thanks. I tried the loaf of bread - not chewy enough. Yeah, I'll be helping out with the Axe-FX III. Looking forward to that one, for sure.

[@timidater4803]

The Master!!!!!!! Burgman ROCKS!!! (With a jazz vibe also) Incredible!!! I cant believe they havent picked you up for NAMM!!!!!!!!

[@BrettKingman]

Yeah, I'd love to go to NAMM again. I haven't been for about 6 years or so. Maybe one day. Thanks for the kind words!

[@timidater4803]

no problem!! Just get so much enjoyment from your stuff!! Keep it up!!

[@soundknight]

That leaves me in ecstacy

[@shfnderrock]

Very impressive Tones

[@joja6331]

Brett, du bist echt große Klasse. Bravo.

[@thearoom]

Play very nice on this demo dude good job

[@heythere6983]

Anyone wanna sell their crunch box version 2? I prefer that tone but can’t find it

[@rcleon1431]

This the same as the mi audio tube zone?

[@BrettKingman]

No. The Tube Zone is more saggy rectifier - quite brutal when gained up. The Crunch Box is more tighter Marshall. Sort of hot hotrodded JCM800.

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

I'll have to try it in front of my Kemper ... it should work well there too.

[@eurofeel]

I wonder how this one compare to suhr eclipse...

[@soundknight]

This sounds great but seeing the knob adjustments has made me think, what if you had a pre-programmed circuit with a more open edgy sound down to left with less gain, then a max compressed high drive and only slightly louder all the way to the right blended signal using just one knob? And of course a booster stomp switch attached with boost level. And an app to control the inside tone shaping?

[@BrettKingman]

Then you'd be wanting a digitally controlled Super Crunch Box. Which I'm sure Michael could build for you. :D

[@cyanwitch2708]

Yeah it's called the Source Audio Kingmaker/L.A. Lady.

[@Harryfin100]

Hi Brett how does this compare to the mi effects superblues pedal?

[@LittleRapGuy]

nice

[@Shnickers79]

I just got one. Did you notice a drop in volumes when flicking the mode and clip switches?

[@BrettKingman]

Yes. That's due to the different clipping types. All is revealed in the user guide.

[@pittbulldog8776]

Where can i order that pedal?

[@toddyeates271]

thank you sir! been waiting for this. please do a review of the jhs AT andy timmons drive pedal. I think you would like it!

[@tollan23]

I've owned that JHS pedal and the MI Audio super crunch box V3 slays it, at least in my rig. I find those JHS AT to be rather boxy and compressed. Lots of people like the AT but I sold mine.

[@toddyeates271]

thank for the info,the jhs at works great with my clean channel on boogie mark v but im always interested in other good choices. are these pedals very fizzy? i know the jhs AT drive is not and i like non fizzy tones for classic to hard rock. and the 100 watt setting on jhs is not compressed,very little and more clean and open sounding.not into tinny fizzy tones. the jhs is fat. i have to say the crunchbox looks great for reasonable price.

[@tollan23]

It can be a little fizzy sometimes depending on the amp, but just tweak a few knobs and the fizz goes away. I didn't really like the 100w setting on the AT either. I don't know, I just didn't bond with it although it's a perfectly good pedal... I just way prefer the crunch box v3 :)

[@jsapi23]

I have both, the AT has that vowel vibe going on with leads, however the SCB has the grit, sizzle and push. Both have their merits. The AT sounds a bit softer if that’s the right word.

[@nlmal4]

impress demo man, Big thumb up....

[@Bowietrope]

Wonderful playing as usual Brett but gotta disagree with you on the looks of the pedal, I think it's beautiful! Brings back memories of a certain favorite breakfast cereal....it was so hard choosing between this and the Friedman BE-OD, guess I need em both...sigh.

[@inter3comp]

Simplemente excelente...

[@kimmolingonheimo]

WAS selling this, but no more, with my Yamaha 112V neck pup its perfect

[@kimmolingonheimo]

open mode with medium drive, cleanish and a bit fattening the tone, perfect note definition...

[@frankardos4211]

OK Brad. I hope you can help me. I pray all is well with you and your adorable family my friend. Just lovely I must say. Anyway... I probably have tried most of the "conventional" ways to run a stereo rig but how might you do it? I have all kinds of amps and stereo fx pedals etc... but also I have that awesome Empress buffer plus stereo pedal as well. I go into a Laney(that's right dude!) irt studio and use the fx loop as normal but want to incorporate the best way to send the good stuff to another amp. Just using the other output of my reverb(GFI Systems) into the 2nd amps return seems "ok" but thought I'd ask you if you knew of a better way. I know there's preamps with stereo fx loops yada yada but hope you could help. Love your tone and vids mate. Truly, and all the best. Fran

[@epomahfudz]

omg...this effect n you same great

[@atalayo3o0o]

very nice growl...

[@wyzyguy726]

Hey Burgs ... did you put this out front of the Axe Fx or in the loop?

[@BrettKingman]

Always in front unless otherwise stated. The Axe takes pedals like a champ.

[@AMB666]

Great tone, what's that guitar?

[@guitaristinterrupted3558]

I think it’s a Yamaha Revstar

[@joeriveracomedy]

4:26 got my attention now

[@thewilythylacine]

Well, if you’re gonna go ahead and play like that...any pedal’s gonna sound great.

[@edaor3729]

Ui, ui! Middle Control 😁

[@nicolasdelcastillo6497]

What's MSRP on this? Can't find it anywhere! (sidenote: loved the bits where you just bang chords without regard for the backing track)

[@BrettKingman]

Haha. Thanks! I can't help with pricing, though. That's the domain of MI Audio and their dealers.

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

Wow, some of you folks are pretty negative towards JHS pedals for some reason.

[@pauloakes8372]

I know you posted this two years ago but here's why: JHS copied this pedal and made it the Angry Charlie. I opened the Crunch Box to put a battery in, and printed on the circuit board is "still angry, charlie" MI Effects knows they got ripped off

[@estebanmitre4752]

AGUANTE JHS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WIN
