By placing the High Gain first in the chain, allow the Crunch voicing to overrule the High Gain while adding a few db to volume. lose some of the lows and highs, but this results in a focused and controlled mid-range that cuts through the mix. And of course can add up to 12 db of clean Boost as well for meatier leads.The Greg Howe Lick Box features cast metal casing, the high quality switches with ‘on’ indicating LED’s, and the new Carl Martin DC/DC converter circuitry.
