OVERDRIVE- SHIN'S MUSIC MKII Drive ...MIAB ....high expectations?

SHIN'S MUSIC MKII DRIVE
$500.00 USD
The company has been going decades where the owner Shinichi Suzuki
his has a shop is downtown Tokyo .
He has very few pedals. The MIAB, a clean drive, a Rat, several boost pedals and about a dozen basic versions of the same basic overdrive, a take on a   Dumble-in-a-Box. These in most cases are a starting point to big name Stars who frequent his place to get the perfect custom modded pedal.
The layout has precedence, bass, mid.treble, volume and gain with a toggle for boost.

CONCLUSION
The MIJ pedal makers are a strange lot. Everything is done to physically make a product taken to an extremely refined build. Fine, but in the end does it sound great or do we just have a pricey doorstop? Well it sounds very good but there are many that make MIAB that sound very good. At $500.00 USD it has to at least impress me as much as the Origin Compact Revival Drive at a hundred dollars less. It doesn't 😴
