That's Crunch Box, Burn Unit, and BB Preamp! All of these pedals ROCK! I left the Maz set up like the previous clips with the Zen Drive and BB Preamp (so you can compare), but this time I set the BB the way I think it works better, and I believe you'll hear the difference. You'll notice the Barber Burn Unit has two channels - well I had them set real similar, so you probably won't hear all that much difference when I turn on channel two. The nice thing is you can set either one as minimal gain and the other as way over the top. Not much to say about the Crunch box - yow! Check it out: Grosh Bent Top Custom (Strat) bridge humbucker > (stomp box) > Maz Jr > Weber Alnico California Setup: The Maz Junior: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Crunch Box: 0:00 -> 0:24 = Maz Jr. 0:24 -> 1:12 = Crunch Box 1:12 -> end = Maz Jr. MazJr_MICrunchBox.mp3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Barber Burn Unit: 0:00 -> 0:25 = Maz Jr. 0:25 -> 0:55 = Burn Unit Channel 1 0:55 -> end = Burn Unit Channel 2 MazJr_BarberBurnUnit.mp3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The BB Preamp: 0:00 -> 0:28 = Maz Jr. 0:28 -> end = BB Preamp MazJr_BBPreamp.mp3Hope it helps!

Thanks for the posting.I have been wondering about the crunch box,some people love it and some hate it but it sounds pretty good to me.It doesn't muddy the notes like some people have suggested........................................Sterling

Crunch box is really bright. I guess there's a pot you can twiddle inside that alters its presence, but I've never looked for it. If you want a real nasty raw sound, the Crunch box can get there real easy.

Hey Benttop have u played the Zendrive 2? I placed myself on Alfs list a few months ago for a Z1 and a Z2. Just got notified theyre ready. I really like my RC and BB. I like the BB more with the Maz than the RX or Lonestar. Seems to drop a bit of bass, end up with the bass turned right up on the BB. But it works best in front of the RC i think. They really compliment each other. Azat

I like the CB with the Maz jr. A great combo for sure for that over the top stuff. I use mine similarly but I turn the treble way lower than what you have it set at. I like the tube zone just a bit better than the CB though.

I love both the Crunch Box and the BB with the Maz Jr. They are both excellent sounding boxes with this amp. I found the Crunch Box needed some adjustment to the internal presence trimmer to sound it's best with my settings.
Anyway, a great demo you did here.

I'm going to have to open up my CB and have a look at that adjustment. It is pretty doggone bright all right. I mean, look at where I had the tone control - just about 8 o'clock, which is very near the fully CCW position. You should hear how bright it is when that control is at noon or higher....

No doubt, it is a bright pedal. I keep the tone around 9:00 as well and took the internal pres. down just a hair.
