Tone Box, Inc. Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

March 4, 2010 - PRLog -- The Tone Box Skull Crusher has been awarded a Premier Gear Award in the March 2010 issue of Premier Guitar.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

“It’s clear that John Kasha understands how important it is to voice a boost pedal so it sits on top of the band, rather than getting lost in a sea of gain” says reviewer Steve Ouimette. “It’s easy to add a ton of distortion to your sound, but rarely have I heard a pedal that so effortlessly let you be heard through the din.” Premier Guitar awarded the Skull Crusher a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“We created the Premier Gear Awards to recognize gear that is truly exceptional in terms of the characteristics that are most important to our readers,” says Premier Guitar’s senior editor Chris Burgess. “Whether it's tone or build quality, craftsmanship, looks, playability, value, versatility, or even that 'certain something' that can be so difficult to define, these awards are our way of saluting the gear that decisively surpasses our exacting standards.”
