I Present the IdiotBox Effects's Blower Box

Mine has been on 90+% of the time since I bought it, which is almost a year ago.

Southampton fifth gear overdrive into Idiotbox Blower Box is my standard sound. Turning the southampton off (and playing with a light touch) is my "clean" sound.

I used to run a BDDI after the Blower, then a Joyo American sound, but now I just have an always on Boss GEB-7 eq in that spot.
 
It is a shame that the blower box is currently sold out, but I do think the amptweaker fat metal distortion pedal sounds similar to the blower box. titaniumrx has commented that this pedal reminded him of the blower box. here's MrExcane's clip of the amptweaker fat metal distortion pedal.


He added a "Limited Nuclear Green Screen Printed" version to his site yesterday. Needless to say I snagged one before they sold out again :D.
 
What are people's EQ with the Blower Box? Mine always seems a bit harsh on the highs, and I often have to trim them back to almost nothing. Thinking it might be amp EQ, but I like how everything else sounds. Suggestions? Oh, and I use flats, so I'm not even getting tons of treble from the strings.
