Does anyone know when the MP Ruby Red Booster is going to be released? This one sounds interesting.

I own both, use one or the other depending on the particular music I'm playing and the other gear I've chosen for a particular gig. I find myself going to the SHOD more often then the HB, but only because I find it a bit more versatile for the stuff I happen to be currently playing.

Here is a comparative demo posted a while back http://www.bjfe.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1874. And here is an audio comparison (with some tasty licks) on Huckleboogie's soundclick page (MP Prototype is the SHOD) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=920019&content=music

Like all of Bjorn's creations, these two fully reveal themselves only after you've put in some time with them. The interaction of the controls and response to playing dynamics is complex. These truly are tools for musicians.

Buy them both
