The Bluebird sounds Dumble-ish to me. Not crazy about the Amber Drive, the demo sounds good just not what I'm into. I'm excited for more info on both of these!

Is the Bluebird just a tweaked Golden Cello for non-Guitar Center locations?

To me the Amberdrive sounds like the typical Dumble with the big fat mids and no presence (high highs). I would actually like to try both of these, but I have had such bad luck with Mad Professor pedals always being too bright!

I found this: http://www.rogueguitarshop.com/Mad-Prof ... s-s/74.htm

It lists the "street" prices for the two new pedals. THe Bluebird is PCB and goes for $224 while the Amber Drive is made in Finland and goes for $312.

I am somewhat glad the Amber drive is non-PCB as I have had the chance to compare three of the MP pedals directly between PCB and handmade in Finland and the PCBs always seem like the skim milk version. It will take quite a sale for me to pickup the Amber and I do not remember if MP pedals are off limits to 15 - 25% off sales?

It seems to me that the BB is an OD combined with delay, not fuzz, like the GC. Also seems like the BB has more internal trimmers/more flexibility/capability. The GC was kind of cool, but was kind of a one-trick pony since it didn't clean-up much. I think the BB sounds more useful/promising
