EBS Black Haze 2

I've been thinking about trying out a new drive pedal and the EBS Black Haze 2 has caught my attention. Demos on youtube are fairly limited and I've checked out all that I can find, I like what I hear but I'm not entirely sold. So I'm curious to hear from anyone who has a bit of hands on experience with them.

Currently on my board (in terms of drive) I've got a Blumes, VT bass and Alpha/Omega running in that order. I like to stack and mix combo's of these three so I'd be wanting to do the same with the Black Haze. Would likely be replacing the VT bass as it seems to be my least used drive when I'm playing with the band. Feels like blasphemy as it's still my favourite low gain drive pedal on the market, but it doesn't stack that well with things like an octaver and can get a bit messy. I play a broad range of music, but in this case I'm thinking more in terms of my Psych/Stoner project.
 
I had one and it was really really good. One of the best overdrives I ever had. Only sold it because I was not using overdrives in any of my projects and I had the Anagram for that. But really really cool pedal. And I also loved the form factor. Is a little bit smaller than the average pedal and I do not know why, but I liked the form of it.
