Compressor

Das MI Audio Neo Fuzz ist ein vielseitiges Germanium-Fuzz-Pedal, das um ein Paar handverlesene New Old Stock AC128-Transistoren herum entwickelt wurde. Obwohl sein architektonisches Konzept Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Silizium-basierten G.I. Fuzz aufweist, handelt es sich um ein eigenständiges Schaltungsdesign und nicht um einen direkten Klon von Vintage-Hardware. Das Pedal verfügt über eine komplexe Anordnung von acht Bedienelementen, darunter ein spezieller Mittenregler namens „Body“, ein variabler Eingangsimpedanzregler „Load“ und eine „Bias“-Einstellung für Gating-Effekte. Ein dreistufiger „Tame“-Schalter ermöglicht die Formung der Höhenfrequenzen zur Abstimmung auf verschiedene Verstärker-Voicings. Die Schaltung enthält einen internen Gain-Trimmer, um die Gesamtintensität der Germanium-Sättigung zu kalibrieren.

The MI Audio Neo Fuzz is a versatile germanium-based fuzz pedal designed around a pair of hand-selected New Old Stock AC128 transistors. While its architectural concept shares similarities with the silicon-based G.I. Fuzz, it is an original circuit design rather than a direct clone of vintage hardware. The pedal features a complex array of eight controls, including a dedicated midrange "Body" knob, a variable input impedance "Load" control, and a "Bias" adjustment for gating effects. A three-position "Tame" switch allows for high-end frequency sculpting to match various amplifier voicings. The circuit includes an internal gain trimmer to calibrate the overall intensity of the germanium saturation.

Das MI Audio Crunch Box ist ein High-Gain-Distortion-Pedal, das den Klang und das Spielgefühl eines voll aufgedrehten britischen „Plexi“-Stacks nachbilden soll. Seine Schaltung ist eine stark modifizierte Variante des Marshall Bluesbreaker, die eine High-Gain-Op-Amp-Architektur mit LED-Clipping nutzt, um eine satte, verstärkerähnliche Sättigung zu erreichen. Während das Gehäuse Standardregler für Gain, Tone und Volume bietet, ist das Pedal für seinen internen Presence-Trimmer bekannt, mit dem der Benutzer die Höhenwiedergabe auf seinen spezifischen Verstärker kalibrieren kann. Seit seinem Debüt im Jahr 2006 wurde es mehrfach überarbeitet, um den Lautstärkeverlauf und das Rauschen zu optimieren. Das Design betont den Mitten-Punch sowie die harmonische Komplexität und fungiert als „Marshall-in-a-box“ für Clean-Verstärker-Setups.

The MI Audio Crunch Box is a high-gain distortion pedal designed to emulate the sound and feel of a cranked British "plexi" stack. Its circuit is a heavily modified variant of the Marshall Bluesbreaker, utilizing a high-gain op-amp architecture with LED clipping to achieve a rich, amp-like saturation. While the exterior features standard controls for Gain, Tone, and Volume, the pedal is notable for its internal presence trimmer which allows users to calibrate the high-end response to their specific amplifier. Since its 2006 debut, it has undergone several revisions to refine its volume taper and noise floor. The design emphasizes midrange punch and harmonic complexity, functioning as a "Marshall-in-a-box" for clean-platform setups.

Crunch Box

The Boost ‘n’ Buff is a booster and a buffer pedal that should be an essential on every pedal board, whether to keep your original guitar tone intact or to boost the signal in three different ways; FULL, MID and TREBLE. The super quiet, Class A (single transistor) design provides a huge 35dB boost when engaged and acts as an ultra high input impedance buffer (5MΩ!) in bypass mode

Boost `n´ Buff

The Blues Pro’s classic three-knob design is now bigger and better! All of the variables of this modified TS design are now on the face of the pedal for the ultimate in low/mid-gain tone-shaping. A plethora of overdrive tones await: Be it a low-gain boost, a harmonic blues solo tone or super-compressed fuzz – all can be dialled and switched in with the new expanded feature set. The classic compressed, mid-hump overdrive of the original is still there but is now surrounded by many more options for you to find your custom overdrive tone!

Perhaps the most exciting feature of the Super Blues Pro is the presence of two toggle switches that control the pair of soft-clipping diodes in the circuit. Each switch provides a choice of SILICON, MOSFET or NONE, with each combination giving different clipping symmetry, therefore different boosted harmonics. Each clipping combination also affects the output volume, attack of the signal and compressions allowing you to tailor an overdrive for your needs. For a compressed and throaty overdrive like the original, go for SILICON. If you want a more open OD and brighter attack, try out the MOSFETs, or find a blend in between. Using NONE is perfect for a low-gain boost to drive the front-end of your amp if natural tube overdrive is your sound.
