"I fully expected questions about this one because it's another one that sounds basically nothing like any of the demos unless it's run into a cranked high gain amp. It's awfully bright and thin into a clean / crunchy amp. (just like the original) "
I'll second that. I had an original for a few months. It's great to tighten up an already gainy amp that has a big bottom end to it. Other than that, I had a hard time finding much use for it. I ended up liking flexibility of the TC Pre style a bit more. IMO you can get pretty close, if not spot on to the Triangulum/33 style if you tweak the knobs appropriately, but to each their own.
