MXR Blue Box clones??

[synthezatory]

What are the options out there? Love this pedal, but I couldn't go pass that infamous volume problem.

You know there's a super easy mod to fix the volume drop, right?

C11 mod is pretty easy. So easy I could do it. The MASF Kidnapper is a clone of the DOD Buzz Box with some changes.

protone blue rhino is all I can think of. that pedal fucking rocks too.

I don't know of any clones available so to speak, but mammoth has kits for an expanded one (aka the popular mods people have done over the years).

My homeboy Chris at Midwest Modulations put a SHO circuit at the output stage of mine (as well as some other mods) and now it is hands down my loudest fuzz.

Mid-Fi Glitch Computer with the tracking all the way up is basically a Blue Box.

Mid-Fi Glitch Computer is scarce as hen's teeth

Catalinbread Perseus?

I think I'm going to clip C11 on mine, not just for the volume increase but also to get back some treble.

if the volume issue is a problem, yea, just do the mod.

There's no real need for clones.

That's how I feel. They are damn cheap, just buy one and mod it if needed.

Bought it a yeaaarrrs back and sold it due to that prob. I've never followed anything blue box ever since, so yeah the c11 clipping mod is new info to me. Thanks, I might grab another one and try out

I've heard about the volume drop but I'm not hearing it on the one I use on the settings I use it at.

Yea, I'm near maxing the output knob (which I don't have to do on any of my other fuzz/wacky pedals) but it's still a little above unity.

It's a modern red board/red LED one.

Just get one and do the c11 mod, like everyone else said.
