OVERDRIVE- ONEDER EFFECTS Old Blue ... Go figure? A Blues Driver? or Bluesbreaker?

ONEDER EFFECTS OLD BLUE OD 
$180.00 USD
The maker said this pedal is totally it's own thing. All these pedals tend to start with the basic Tube Screamer or Marshall Blusebreaker topography and by manipulating EQ and using an endless choice of clipping diodes come up with a sound that if it were a color you are only getting a different shade of it. On one hand just like a pair of denim jeans we all prefer one over the other. One may be as well made as the other but cost considerable more. The bottom line is it's value to you not it's price.
The layout is volume, gain, bass and treble. A toggle gives you a choice of clipping diodes for more or less dirt. 
CONCLUSION
It sounds like it is headed into the Xotic BB Preamps territory. For those with a healthy budget for 10 years the Xotic BB Preamp has been a big contender. The BB covers the same territory in general. The Caline Orange Burst has nailed it's voice and for $30.00 USD. It has to be weighed out as an option for any similar applications from a just into crunch boost to some serious higher gain sounds. At the moment Xotic have their $215.00 pedal on sale for $173.00 USD. The Old Blue is not my shade of Blue. 
Go figure? I ordered the Caline,LOL.
