I just ran across this (not my auction): http://cgi.ebay.com/MARS-BASS-PERFOR...QQcmdZViewItem 
There are two audio clips there--the first one sucks IMO but the second one sounds awesome! |

I like both clips. I don't like the third part of clip 1, possibly the most nasal "distortion" I've ever heard. |

Behringer has me gun shy of of manufacturers like this. |

| Uh, huh.
These prices seem really low for what they're offering. If they can do it this cheaply then why do others charge so much? |

I'm sure the Valve Drive sounds better (and is probably better made) but $220 better? |

Yeah, the seller has a pedal power for $65.00 too under the Biyang name.
But 1800 sales and 100% feedback. |

| That does say something, huh?
I'm sure these pedals are made in China, but what isn't anymore? |

Are there any American's that can help me out  ?
