OVERDRIVE- KERNOM Ridge Augmented OD___NEW___Wedding band-in-a-Box ???

KERNOM RIDGE AUGMENTED  OVERDRIVE
$300.00 USD
The company wants you know it is the first in the world, WTF!!! 
The layout is volume, gain and two tone controls one before and one after the gain and a separate EQ and uses a 30 volt charge pump to give it high headroom The are a dozen pedals with theses features some 6 years old.
It claims it has both symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping. Which is tech speak for when the 'Mood' /gain knob is turned down the Tube Screamer comes in.
It has memory and it can be address by MIDI. But the pedal only holds one preset???? It can be used for vocals or ANY instrument.
CONCLUSION
WTF!!! this pedal can do anything except give you one 'perfect' sound Because that sound comes in a pedal that does just that ...one perfect sound.
The Ridge is for a guy in wedding band or a lounge act that takes requests from the audience. Yes it will give you a 'get you by' for anything but if that is all you want buy a modeler. 
Can this pedal give me a killer Vox AC30, an Orange amp, Supro, Marshall JTM, Plexi, JCM800, or a Soldano, Mesa Dual Rectifier, Peavey 5150,  ENGL Fireball, or even a Rat II. 
Name 3 players you love that you think they would put this pedal on their board ???  ...and your grandfather doesn't count, lol
