From the vendor
The early version of MI Audio's high-gain Crunch Box distortion: two LM833 op-amp gain stages, a pair of red LEDs clipping to ground, then a simple tone control and volume. The post notes it is essentially a Marshall Guv'nor without the three-band tone stack, much like the Lovepedal Superlead.
