OVERDRIVE-MOSKY B-Box Preamp ... a Xotic BB Preamp clone

MOSKY B-BOX PREAMP 
$35.00 USD
Yes another one. Andy Timmons put the original on the map 10 years ago and at the time it was the 'must have' OD. Clones were inevitable. Some have come and gone but at the moment the Caline Orange Burst is King because it has all but duplicated the sound.
Like the original you get a level, gain, treble and bass. So how does it stack up?
The Caline and Xotic have a kind of lightly scooped sound and the Mosky has fat mids.
CONCLUSION
Judged on it's own it sounds great and is not a bad choice. The BB is famous for it's transparent vibe, especially with the gain pulled back. I went for the Caline as I wanted it for that. It seems to be the safer choice. Both are built well and the
Mosky has the small factor that some guys not only want but already have a board with zip room left.
