www.ProGuitarShop.com -Death by Audio Soundwave Breakdown

The Death by Audio Soundwave Breakdown is a new take on fuzz. Death by Audio took two matched transistors and turned them around backwards in the clipping circuit to unleash new and crazy fuzz, distortion, overdrive, and many other tones. One knob sets bias to the transistors and the other knob gives heavy filtering. Unlike any other pedal, the Death by Audio Soundwave Breakdown gives you a different sound with every small movement of the knobs for an almost unlimited palette to create from. This fuzz pedal doesn’t clean up with your volume knob or anything like that. In other words, the Death by Audio Soundwave Breakdown is not for weaksticks, wussies, mamas boys, or singer/songwriters. This pedal has enough fuzz to scare a hippy into the shower.
Death by Audio Soundwave Breakdown Features:

• True Bypass
• Matched transistors
• Bias Control
• Filter Control
• Internal Volume & Threshold controls

http://www.ProGuitarShop.com-The MI Audio Crunch Box is the premier distortion pedal on the market today. If you’re looking to fatten up your leads or really chunk out some rhythms the MI Audio is for you. Designed a few years ago, the MI Crunch Box was based on a careful study of the design of British amp overdrive circuits. Experimenting with the midrange frequency concentration of these designs yielded the Crunch Box in 2003. After a few prototypes, the unit was released in 2006.

The MI Crunch Box will take on any distortion pedal on the market. Rock, Metal, Blues, this thing can do it all. If you play single coils, the Crunch Box will make them scream like a fat girl on a pogo stick. If you play humbuckers the Crunch Box will make the Earth quake and little girls cry. Thick, fat, and juicy just like a good steak the Crunch Box was not designed for low gain, ballady crap. The MI Audio Crunch Box…not for those with small danglies.
