This is destined to be the new Bad Monkey (a great, cheap OD pedal that's now not so cheap), but much better than the Bad Monkey - just better tone overall and more versatile, in my opinion.

an sans amp blonde, a Bad Monkey, and an xotic RC booster, and its better than any of them for what I want

Actually, the separate knobs for Bass and Treble and its darker tone remind me a bit of the Digitech Bad Monkey
