Why the Blues Drive waza so expensive?

[Sirion]

Maybe the digital Wazas are worth it. But I am not so sure about the overdrives and distortions with the widespread clones out there that use better components.

The SD-1 is one of my staples. I tried the original against the Waza, and found that the original sounded better in all configurations. The difference wasn't enourmous, but the Waza sounded more scooped, which I don't think is what anybody wants from these.

(That said, I am forever grateful for the Dimension Chorus rerelease. I prefer the original by a hair, but still sold mine, as the Waza has none of the headroom issues of the original.)
