    The Crunch box aka box o crunch from MI Audio is insane. It is so angry and has so much gain on tap it is insane lol. If you want hulk like Marshall time then the crunch box is for you!

    Funny you should say that, because now that I had a chance to dive into, it kinda is mine too now lol. This thing is really awesome, and the tight switch on it is awesome. It boost, can get rid of unwanted lowend, and you can add LMH into your tone if you want. Its a awesome pedal!

    Fractal Audio AMP Models: Revv (based on Revv Generator 120)

    It ships with EL34s as the Rev A ships with 6L6s. It is just a little different. You honestly could get those sounds in the axe fx if you tried really hard but it really isnt THAT different from the Rev A.

    Well, I have finally reached the end of the amps in the axe fx (until more are added that is). It was an awesome Journey getting to know all the amps we have in the axe fx!

    This amp had a lot of hype behind it and it kinda fell very flat for me. I dont like the "dumble" channel at all and the lead channel doesnt stand out very much. It has none of the modern features (midi, headphone jack, preamp out) for an amp in it's price rance. Getting an FM3 is a way...

    The Friedman Harry Brown Eye is one of the best high gain amps in the Axe Fx! Just like the BEs, they excel at that Marshall Style of tone. And Yes, the models havent changed very much but since they are now ALL based of the newest model of BE (minus the 2010 Marsha), I wanted to revisit them.

    My post is not misleading. If you look at the picture I posted, the names on them have changed. It hasnt been that way for years. We no longer have HBE 2018, its been renamed. Everything minus the 2010 is modeled off the same amp, they were not done that way before.

    It isnt so much of a boost but it gets rid of that 250-300 hz muddy mids section. I just use the P Drive in the drive block and bring it the attack knob, which gets rid of the boxy mids. On my real amp I use the Revv Tilt boost to do basically that.
