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

Thanks so much guys.
 
It's really appreciated.
 
@evadianepug - The Super Crunchbox was designed to be played into an amp. If you plugged it into the interface is would be really "buzzy". I have had a degree of success buy plugging the Crunchbox into a Hughes and Kettner Redbox and then into the interface. The tone wasn't bad at all. I did a little demo with this setup and you can hear it here.
 
This was recorded with the Les Paul into the Crunchbox then into the Redbox and then into the desk.

@ Rimshot - Thanks and I will tell the other guys. Yes, it's starting to look like the use of microphones is starting to disappear. It's become a "virtual" environment. I still love to use "acoustic" spaces and rooms for recording. Obviously there are viable uses for digital modelling etc but there is definitely something "organic" about putting mics in front of instruments to get the sound.
 
@ Bob - thanks for your comments. It's much appreciated.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter.

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.

I'm not sure of the "Radial". Don't know much about them. The Redbox has a speaker sim in it which isn't too bad. This allows you to run pedals into it and take a direct feed to your interface.
 
As you heard, it's not too bad and is a relatively inexpensive option.
 
Cheers.
