OVERDRIVE- MISSING LINK AUDIO Hotlanta ...MIAB via Duane Allman?

MLA HOTLANTA 
$280.00 USD
I recently did their The Eliminator a Billy Gibbons-in-a-Box pedal. The big seller is their Peacock OD which is a Duane Allman-in-a-Box. in fact they offer 4 of them. They even sell them as a set for $780.00 USD. 
No kidding one 'can not make this sh@t up, LOL.
The Hot' is supposed to be a 'best of'. So WTF why not review it.
The layout is simple enough with volume, tone and gain. It's secret sauce is the knob labelled 'voice' which clones the sound of a JBL D12O F 12" speaker. It was part of ol' Duane's sound. He used a Plexi with the 4x12 cab having the back pulled off and Celestions replaced with JBL.
CONCLUSION
The pedal is a MIAB with JBL's. The pedal was designed with the lows rolled off. Even the lower mids are a bit weak. I think it sounds very good but the bass/mid thing for me is a deal breaker.
In a band those lower mids and bass frequencys dampened would literally be an asset with them being covered with the bass guitar, drums and if you had a keyboard guy even more so. I am in a power trio so loss of lower mids especially does not always work as 
they can be a big asset to fill the sound.
