Damnation Audio Fan/Appreciation Thread

Wonder if the spite box is what I need for my royal blood type band with my Rickenbacker. I’m running it stereo with separate rigs. I think an octave dirt box would be good on the treble side.
I just got a Montreal Assembly Too Positive in the mail.

Haven’t had a chance to fire it up yet, but it seems very well suited for Rick-o-Sound and Stereo setups. Independent stereo in and out overdrive with seperate controls and foot switches for each side.
 
I don’t often gush over a pedal, but every minute I spend with the Spite Box makes the love grow. I’ll soon be checking out a noise improv collaboration and I know it will be on my board.
Tonight while noodle jamming, I forgot to breath, oxygen deprivation made my lower gums itch.
Following a Xerograph Deluxe with high resonance was so complex harmonically, in the coolest way. I can’t even….
 
I am joining a new pop punk/skate punk band and I'm looking to build a simple but effective board for it.
Nothing crazy, just a Tuner, a drive of some sort and a DI (maybe a preamp with eq like a Aguilar Tone Hammer).

Setup is simple, I have a Fender P/J into a Mesa Subway D800+. The band is a power trio, guitarist/singer, drum and bass.

I'm looking for something with some presence, some treble but I don't want to go the SVT route. Seems to obvious to me and overheard. Is the MBD-2 can do the job here? Is there enough mids/treble in the little box of wonders?

I had the MBD-1 in the past but with another amp and bass and I used it in another band so I can't really trust my memories of it.

Thanks for the help.

Yes. Shift switch up for more mid-forward drive sound (or down for a touch of scoop/more bottom end). Then just roll the tone up past 1:00/2:00 and use the Depth + Clean knobs to dial in the desired amount of thump and fundamentals. The only complaints I've heard about the MBDs not being punchy or bright enough are from folks who failed to explore the tone knob.
