BISPELL AUDIO|
SAXON OD 
This is yet another MIAB. There are many some good some bad, some near indistinguishable from the real amp. Others are impressionistic and tend to lean toward a theatrical sound that we are all convince that a real Marshall classic amp is. I have a Plexi. I would never part with it but it is as near larger than life that you or even I thought in the beginning. 
So lets go to the layout, it has volume, treble, mid cut, presence and bass. You also get a switch to voice it between a JTM 45 or a Plexi. Another toggle switches on a bright switch that the late model Plexi added for a bit of serious bite. There are internal dip switches to match the pedals overall sound to work well with your rig.
CONCLUSION
It has the right amount of sag and saturation one looks for with any MIAB. The voicing for the tone is fairly accurate. Made in Brit with the usual quality 
build. It is however a bit distant and dark with some loss of detail in the 
harmonics. You might want to pass if you have a very dark amp.
Anything in this league these days is another $50.00 USD. 
Definitely worth considering.

the fine print
If you are just generally looking for a great in your face fat, aggressive pedal with a 
Brit vibe you should check out the  Caline High Peak Distortion. The tone is much more 
Orange-in-a-Box but the damn thing takes no prisoners and is just $40.00 USD.
