OVERDRIVE- SCURU VS706 Blue Overdrive___NEW___ in fact a new brand ...& CHEAP!

 SCURU 
 VS706  BLUE OVERDRIVE   |    |   
$25.00 USD
When one of the bigger companies sells pedals to a private distributor wanting to have their own brand they 99% of the time sell pedals that are mostly a few year old & now slow sellers or discontinued. They paint the enclosure a different color, change the graphics & the plastic knobs to a different style but leave the board unchanged. What they do not do is put it in a different enclosure. The SCURU enclosure is unique. This alone suggests a different and NEW brand. If it is a clone it is likely a Marshall BluesBreaker if for no other reason that it is cheaper to do as even the original uses OpAmps/Diodes and a Boss Blues Driver
 uses FETS. 
The layout is Volume, Bass, Treble and Gain.
           CONCLUSION ___ 
It looks cool with tasteful graphics and an 
original casing. It sounds good too. 
Similar to a JHS Charlie Brown v.1. At least 
with that one sound we heard on the video.  
It is a very usable one sound and comes 
over as Pro sounding. If my first impression 
is right it could be worth a gamble. Yes
we would all love to hear all their pedals.  
But there are sweet F. all videos. 😒

    It would be my best guess since Caline unlike other brands are using different casings on mysterious other brands pedals. When they introduce a new extra cheap line of pedals in the past some are really bad with things like dirt pedals that on full are not as loud as when you turn the pedal off. Or pedals that are played loud on a demo but when not getting any feedback from the amp have no sustain at all.
    I do know that Tone City who do not make a standard Hammond B390 size pedal brought out some in that size but only for a few months and they were shaped like the Scuru.
