Finally got my hands on a Piggy 
Excited to compare it to my other favorite low gain ODs, including the Saturn VI and the Fifth Gear.

I got my Piggy a few months ago. I really like it, and it is indeed similar to my great SS/BS Mini. I may actually prefer the Piggy slightly. Glad I ordered it, love the aesthetic and brazen backplate too.

The Piggy is definitely more versatile with its 2 band EQ and Sag control. The latter feels similar to the Heat knob on the Fifth Gear. I like how overall transparent the Saturn VI is, though I've mostly used it on guitar lately. The Piggy can be tweaked to be smooth or brash, I'm looking forward to using it in a live band situation.
Hey, did you ever find a sample or another Traynor TS-50B preamp clone without a waiting list?
Kicking myself for giving my old one away.

I don't have the Piggy anymore, so cannot do a direct comparison. From memory, they don't overlap much. The Piggy could get grindy in a mid-forward way and close to fuzz with higher gain. The Tubedrve is really an overdrive and can remain transparent/full.
