The OD is no longer a Tubescreamer 808 based but based on their Garagetone Drivetrain OD, which apparently was originally a circuit they designed for another company... Framus, if I recall correctly. Adding the clean mix and an alternate voicing (louder, more headroom) was a good move too.
But my favourite parts of the new series is the option to have true bypass or buffered bypass and the ability to separate the circuits for use in a switcher or change the order of them with a jumper.

See if you can find their chainsaw distortion, the name is misleading. Its sounds good too, gets overlooked often.
I was surprised that they seem to have gotten away from the Route 808 entirely. Not sure as I haven't looked too closely at what is used for their other OD's, but I think the Jeckyl and Hyde R808 side was replaced by something based on their Open Road. But I'm told if you want the TS sound, it can be dialed in to get some of that mid bump happening.
They seem to have either gotten rid of the circuits based on other company's designs and replaced them with stuff that was their own design or they've modified them to the point they've become their own thing.
I definitely will keep an eye out for a Chainsaw. Those Garagetone series pedals are all much better quality than their prices when new suggested. Bob Weil has said his biggest failure with that line was how he priced them so low, thinking he'd basically offer a high quality but budget friendly line of pedals. He priced himself out of the market by going so low people naturally assumed they were crap without even trying them.
I'm sort of a Visual Sound/TrueTone fanboy. I have other pedal brands, but tend to go out if my way to snap up their stuff when it comes up used and this us my 3rd V3 series pedal. I was thinking I don't really need the VSXO because it seemed between the Jeckyl and Hyde and the Route 66 I have those bases covered; but from looking at it, while the left OD does appear to be the Jeckyl side of the J&H V3, the right side of the VSXO is different.

Re: NPD
The garagetone series was great. I bought all except for the delay. Out of those the tremolo developed noise problems for me. It waa my fav becaise the buffer in it wasn't transparent but did something to the tone that made everything sound great. I miss that pedal. The opto thing they used in it waa discontinued, I guess they didn't bother making a v3 version of it & the phaser, that would have been great as well. I have their open road pedal as well, that ones a keeper too.
