not to mention that there are examples of the behringer circuit actually sounding better than the original, for example, the Ultra Pitch Shifter/Harmonist US600 has cleaner tracking than any boss pitch shifter that i've ever played with, and it works better with chords than the boss as well.

as lovetone pedals seem to fetch £600 a piece I imagine they will be cheaper

Would love to hear what info you have bud

Check out the Caline pedals: the Caline Crazy Cacti is the clone of the Fulltone Fulldrive2, Caline Puffer is a Silicon Fuzz Face with a tone pot added clone (very nice), Caline English Man is a "wannabe" Carl Martin Plexitone clone. There are many others... and they are ridiculously cheap. EXAMPLE
-Guitar: Squier VM Mustang, Squier CV '50 Duo Sonic;
-Amplifier: Hughes&Kettner Blue Edition 60;
-FXs: Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95 Wah, Boss BD-2 Blues Drive, Proco RAT, Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo, EH Small Clone, MUZA FD900, Bespeco Volume pedal.

Ooh, ooh - I feel duty bound to point out, I got a Mooer Trelicopter a couple of days ago, and it's a brilliant little trem. Whether or not it's really a copy of the Tremulator I don't know, but it's my new favourite. And more versatile than some reviews would have you believe.

Favourite trem.

Yup, I've used it for a couple of years. Superb. No volume drop. Just a great sounding pedal.

You can even use it as a volume boost.

the echolizer and repeater are wishful thinking lol. some of the others, particularly the graphic eqs, dont make sense.

borrowing tim's mooer rat clone at the moment though, which is very good.

i bought one of those, but in my defence it was going for something ridiculous like £11 with the discount codes at the time. it was garbage - only sympathetic to notes on the b major scale and all other notes would warble or not track properly. look at all the knobs on the boss ps-5, then look at the knobs on the pitch box...

These two companies also produce perfectly fine copies of some of the more famous brands.
