Menatone is a long-established handmade effects pedal brand that has been handcrafting top-quality effects pedals as a boutique brand in the U.S. since 1996, headed by Brian Mena.
The Red Snapper drive booster, which was used by a famous guitarist in Japan, and the Marshall King Of The Britains series, of which there were many versions, are particularly famous.

This is the current version of the Red Snapper, the first drive pedal released by Menatone after the brand was launched in 1996.

This model has undergone many version changes and design changes since 1996.
The current version of the Red Snapper 3knob is in stock in Japan, but in its home country it is called the Red Snapper Mojo.

The internals of this model are the most fascinating of all the previous versions, and it features a point-to-point integration of the original Red Snapper 3-knob circuit with parts that would be used to build an amplifier!

Because of the many version changes, it is unknown how long they will make this Mojo version, making it a superb pedal to get when available.

This model, the Red Snapper, is a pushy overdrive that provides a boost that is true to the original sound!

At its lowest gain setting, it delivers a clean sound with no distortion and functions as a good clean booster.
As the gain is increased, a rock-style drive with a nice coarseness to the distortion is added.

At full volume, the "crunchy texture" of this pedal allows for a very clean distortion, but the most notable feature of this pedal is its ability to push the base note without being buried by overtones, while distorting from the core.
The strength of the fundamental with power in each note makes it difficult to bury the sound in chord approaches and arpeggios while distorting, and the single note pushout obtained with this sound has an excellent sense of balance between distortion and separation.

The bite knob, which is a feature of the control, adjusts the intensity of distortion in the pick attack frequency range.
It works like a presence, adding a biting and refreshing bite that comes straight through while leaving a range that keeps the sound present.

When using this unit as a booster, it sings a voluminous rock sound that pushes the specific range set by the bite knob to bring the sound together firmly in the bandwidth you seek!

The raw response only possible with point to point wiring is fresh itself.

The Red Snapper 3knob is a particularly good version to buy, please enjoy the masterpiece drive sound!
