I finally got around to recording a demo video of the MI Effects Super Crunch Box

Hi guys,
I've finally got around to recording a track with the MI Effects Super Crunch Box. The track is called "Everything Goes" and was written by Dave Sharp.
 
I thought that the best way to demo the pedal was to actually record and produce a track where the Super Crunch Box is used exclusively for all the drive on the guitar.
 
The guitar is a Tokai Loverock LS85 and was fitted with Di Marzio pickups. It has a Tone Zone in the neck position and a Super Distortion in the bridge.
 
 A lot of pedals don't like such a high output signal fed into them and they turn to mush. I can safely say that the SCB loved it. The tone still has a lot of definition and articulation.
The setting on the pedal is: Comp Switch - 1
                                                 Hi/Lo Switch set to "high"
                                                The gain was set to about 11'o clock and the tone was in the middle.
 
The amp was miced with SM57s and was set as clean as possible so that the only gain you'll hear is from the pedal. It was a Marshall TSL602 with an extension cabinet.
 
The Hammond C3 was played through a 222 Leslie cabinet and miced with two mics on the horn.
 
The song was produced in Sonar X2 and mastered in Adobe Audition.
 
We tried to get as many camera angles as possible in the studio for this recording.
 
Please watch the video at 480 quality.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

Excellent passage Peter, and beautifully mixed.
 
The guitar tone is superb.

Thanks Steve,
 
Yes, this new Crunch Box is quite special.
 
Thanks for watching,
 
Cheers,

Great piece of music and a beautiful production.  The guitar tones are very nice.  

NIce work all the way around.
 
I like the song and the tone was sweet.

Very good job.

Everything about this is super classy.  I loved the video.  You guys make great representatives for the equipment that you use.

 Makes me want to go buy that box, lol. The tone was fantabulous. The video is well done. The playing leaves nothing to nit over.  I noticed you used a Shimmel grand in the video. That's what I play every week. A nice piano.

Pro performances, superb production (both audio and video), and awesome guitar tone.  And that's a killer track too.  Thoroughly enjoyable, and shows off the pedal nicely!

Really nice sound.  How would it sound direct in to the interface for recording or does it need an amp.  Remember, I'm a bass player so if that's a dumb question, it was the bass player who asked it.  I do play guitar and just never get the sound I want. 

Hi, Peter,
 
Wow, excellent rock instrumental with great playing as always, tasty soloing, and the guitar tone is absolutely fantastic!
 
That pedal really sounds nice, and the mix is spectacular, thanks for sharing!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob

It is a really nice sound.  I have a "Radial jdi passive direct box".  Is that anything like the redbox?  Thanks for posting that link.  I think it is a great sound and the playing is top notch!  Thanks, Peter.
