hi guys ..
there's lots and lots of recommendations and great reviews on many other bass OD .. just that anyone has a nomination for one that is in par with the BJF Blueberry? Since it went off production, I am looking for similar alternative with that in mind, ... I have tried Hematoma, MultiDrive and they are fine just thought of pairing it with a Blueberry or something in par ..
The Blueberry is still "in production", he just makes a few at a time and sells them through a couple of European websites.
The Dredgetone Angler is a hot competitor, but is harder to find than the Blueberry. It was discontinued for a long time, but he is supposedly making a new batch as we speak.
The OLC Flipster (a DIY kit) is, based on the soundclips I've heard, the other best bet. I have one built and in the debugging/troubleshooting stage, so I'll report when I'm done; but read the Flipster threads, there are soundclips and a lot of discussion.
"DIY kit" = you build it. There have been some pre-built ones, and there may be again in the future, but the guy Mark said he was not into doing pre-built ones right now.
Also, I'll bet you almost anything that the Dredgetone you saw for sale was NOT an Angler, but instead a one-off EQ/boost that has been floating around Ebay for a while.
You can still get a Blue Berry, just have to ask for one. Then, wait. A long time.
If you can't wait, get an old tube amp and crank it. It's amazing how similar they sound, although I prefer the portability/reliability/volumecontrol of my Blue Berry. On occasion I miss my Sunn head though.
Still waiting for the next batch of Anglers to surface...
may not be in par .. but have anyone who tried OCD thinks great about it? it has great2 reviews even from fellow bassist just never hear a clear clip of OCD with bass =)

I'm quite sure come Nov 1st that 'pre built' pedals are a go. I recently got mine back from the "James" mod (reduced total gain)... it's a cool pedal for sure.

I am guessing that the ones currently on the site are after the "James" mod?
with that in mind, ... I have tried Hematoma, MultiDrive and they are fine
