Funny Little Boxes 1991

Post by HNB » Mon Jan 03, 2022 7:24 am

I picked up one of these pedals after listening to a demo that popped up in my Android Google news feed. I got on the wait list right away and mine came in before Christmas.

I totally love it. It can do overdrive or distortion, but it just sounds fuller to me than my other distortion pedals. The three band EQ is also nice. I would totally recommend anyone get one. I don't normally post every pedal I buy and try, but this one is amazing.

I am not familiar with that pedal, but just seeing the name 1991, I would expect a Grunge flavored distortion.

You didn’t describe it as such, but I guess a full sounding overdrive/distortion could cover a lot of Grunge tones?

Edit : I was going to ask how it sounded playing a Pearl Jam tune, and clicked on the Demo video link and he’s playing Pearl Jam licks, so I guess that’s my answer!

It was created to sort of capture the pearl jam sounds but does grunge very well.

could you grab a few clips? most the demo's i've seen of this pedal leave a bit to be desired IMHO
