I have owned and played the BJF, D*A*M, Analogman and a Cornish TB-83 duplex. They have their unique qualities, for sure and different tones can be dialed in with each pedal. For me, the Duplex from Cornish is a great pedal. Like other mentioned, it has a nice mid-range punch and it sounds best at stage or practice volumes. I like to keep one on all the time and adjust the other for a slight boost and give the amp that final push over the edge. I would really like to try a Little Red Trebler from Bjorn but I guess that is going to be a long wait, like most good things in this world.
I hesitate to say one is better than the other, just a different flavour. For me, I have found I like to run two treble boosters, one right after the other, much like the Cornish set up. I never would have thought of doing that until I played the Duplex but very nice tones can be dialed in with this simple combination.
