Menatone Top Boost in a Can (TBIAC) — Rare 8-Knob Version (Hand-signed by Brian Mena, 2007) Description:The ultimate "Vox AC30 in a box" in its most versatile and rarest 8-knob configuration!Up for sale is a holy grail boutique pedal — the legendary Menatone Top Boost in a Can (TBIAC) with the ultimate 8-knob layout. This is the highly sought-after, hand-wired version built by Brian Mena himself, widely considered one of the best analog British Class-A emulations ever made.Why this specific unit is a collector’s piece:
- 100% Hand-Wired Vintage: This pedal was built and tuned by hand. The inner side of the backplate features the original signature of Brian Mena and the build date: 03/12/07. A true piece of boutique guitar gear history!
- Ultimate Control (8 Knobs): Unlike the later stripped-down versions, this one gives you absolute control over your tone. It features independent overdrive and boost sections, plus the magical Sag control (which beautifully emulates tube rectifier sag, changing the compression and feel under your pick attack).
The Sound:
It nails that classic British chime, edge-of-breakup grit, and singing midrange of vintage Vox AC30 and Matchless amps. It’s incredibly dynamic, raw, and amp-like. In terms of touch sensitivity and harmonic depth, it easily outperforms modern mass-produced dual overdrives.Condition:
- Technical: Fully functional. All pots are smooth and quiet, switches engage perfectly, and jacks are solid. The circuit is 100% original and untouched, with no mods or repairs.
- Cosmetic (Excellent): Beautiful condition for a pedal that is nearly 20 years old. No major chips, deep scratches, or nasty dings. Just some light, honest signs of careful use (everything is clearly visible in the detailed photos — what you see is what you get). No velcro on the back.
Will be packed bulletproof and shipped quickly with tracking. Don't miss your chance to grab a rare piece of boutique history at a great price!
