"It's the Box we've all been waiting for"

"Theater's best kept secret now comes to the studio"
Scott Lehrer - Tony award winning sound designer & Second Story Sound owner
" The Funktional choco-box is my go to Mic Pre, EQ, DI, and... AD DA converter. The thing is an absolute workhorse and never disappoints. It is the first thing people are drawn to when they look though the racks. She is the only piece of gear in our studio that is undefeated in our rigorous blind A/B testing days... Can't wait to get my hands on a few more to have a multi-channel rack. Thanks Andrew and the team at Funktional for your wonderful work and continuous support with the choco. "

“The Funktional Technologies Chocolate Box makes my brain spin thinking about all the possible uses I could come up in both live and studio applications. From looking at it as two separate tracking preamps, stereo bus sweetening unit or to use in an all analog channel path for a lead vocalists for their IEM mix it definitely will earn it’s spot next to the other capable pieces in any rack.”

"The Chocolate Box is a catch-all analog front end that does its job beautifully.
It equally excels with dynamic, condenser, and even ribbon mics, and the DIs provide clean, warm and distinct amplification for guitar, bass, and synths.
The EQ is sweet, clear and musical without a hint of phasing present, and the headphone amp provides a bold listening experience - allowing the user to dial in a perfect sound (and even practice) without interference.
The Digital section is an added bonus with top-notch converters that rival any standalone two channel unit.
The Chocolate Box is a serious, versatile tool, which allows me to quickly dial in bold, clear tones that are as effortless to mix as they are to record."
