Yay, more to compare, although (without back-to-backing them) the MXR isn't much like the Satchurator. The MXR have a more "classy" sound.

Yeah, I think the Satch is aimed more specifically (shredders) than the MXR.
I'm not going into the interior gubbins because I don't have enough information available to make a scientific/accurate differentiation between them.
However I do have a range of pedals which I can back-to-back and compare toneally.

i think there are enough...but no harm putting out more...if not for funky graphics!
recently i went through trying a bunch of different ones...but then i worked out that they all sound similar, and by the time i put them in my setup and eq'd to the sound i like, then they sounded almost exactly the same as the one before...same with fuzz pedals too.
My distortion and fuzz pedal on my board now have been there for a while and i cant see any reason to replace them with anything else.
After I had the problem with my DL-4 I found the same was true - I replaced it with three standard Boss delays, then quickly reduced to two.

that's about right. I quite like whiskey though. I once did a whiskey tasting and compared to each other you could tell the differences. However, give me a shot of whiskey and it's just whiskey flavour to me. Err, so do ten TS variants sound different? Possibly and you could hear changes one from another. Do they all do basically the same thing and are effectively interchangeable? Yep.
OK it does have screens and menus of a sort, but it's extremely simple and intuitive. I don't think it has 'tone print' - or I haven't really looked into it - but if it did this would be the way forward in FX, to me... a universal multi-button box that you can load any effects you want into via USB or whatever.

the difference between the kingsley and the £200 shot whiskey is that once bought the kingsley will save you money, nothing will get close so you'll stop bothering to search. If the whiskey was that good, you'd be in debt very quickly unless you have very deep pockets.
I know you're right.
I have a Rat. I have a TS. I have itsy-bitsy gainers and ultra-cock gainers.
So...
Why TF am I thinking.... Boss DS-2?
Why? The day before yesterday I hadn't even heard of this pedal now a part of my brain is f*cking obsessed with it. I don't need it... A BIT OF MY MIND DOES.
The world does not need another dirt pedal. It's basically.... our addiction.
My entire history of dirt pedals since starting guitar nearly 40 years ago...
Boss DS-1 in my formative years.
Boss HM-2 for many years.

I tend to the view that there are no magic bullets, and that the character of the sound can be changed quite a lot with EQ outside of the pedal. It has never occurred to me that most pedals are pretty much clones of each other and that there's not much difference between them.
