Just a quick question.. how does the Sparkledrive compare to the Barber LTD in clarity and transparency? I know the Barber is pretty great at that but does teh Sparkledrive's blend function make it close?

The Barber is more amp-like in its gain structure to my ears. The Sparkle Drive was was a disapointment to me until I had Keeley mod it. Whatever he did turned it into an 808 killer. Both on a pedal board would be fun for sure.
