Toxic Pedals Muddy Drive = Another repainted JOYO Ultimate Drive...

Ala Freakish Blues the people behind "Toxic Pedals" have gone and done the "buy cheap JOYO clones, repainted/rebrand them and then sell them on as your own." trick. It turns out the Toxic Pedals "Muddy Drive" is the Joyo "Ultimate Drive" (Which is itself a clone of the Fulltone OCD/Voodoo Labs Overdrive) which has been repainted and had a few values on the circuit board switched. Here's some images of the Toxic Pedals "Copenhagen Muddy Drive":




Here's an image of the Muddy Drive (on the left) compared to the Joyo "Ultimate Drive" (on the right):


And if that's not enough here's an image of the top side of the Muddy Drive PCB:


Now, there's nothing technically/legally wrong with doing this. I just think it's a bit cheeky, wouldn't you agree?
