BOOSTER- BSM Black Box Booster ... WTF ???

$290.00 USD
BSM BLACK BOX BOOSTER 
This company makes clones of every 60's/70's style booster ever made
including ones that many guys had modded like Brian May and Tony Iommi. The thing that confuses many is these treble boosters weren't treble boosting just the treble. They were boosting the upper mids that gave a Marshal it's cut and definition. Just like a Tube Screamer that pushes up the mids around 1k. They were not clean though they were not designed to deliberately give you dirt. They are really kind of transparent OD. BSM make them all and the Black Box started out as a take on the preamp in Anus Youngs first but now ancient analog wireless rig. But the maker boasts it is more than that??? Is it? If it isn't that then it is not 'Angus approved'
CONCLUSION
The price is obscene. Add $50.00 USD for shipping from Germany. It comes in a bog standard B style box, unfinished with a vinyl sticker for it's pedestrian graphics so we aren't paying for any graphics.There aren't any videos of it going thru a clean amp amp you don't get to hear even the dirty amp on the vids long enough to judge what it added ...or perhaps screwed up.
The only thing stupider than this, is me wasting your time by reviewing it.
