I have a 83 BLD that I baby and love to death. It cost me 400 bux about 8 years ago and they are even more rare these days. TC electronic sucks and hasn't done a reissue (that I know of), so I am wondering if any other manufacture has done the same kind of pedal? :confused:

Based on the runaway
success of the classic-sounding Dark Matter Distortion, the more modern voiced Röttweiler Distortion and the MojoMojo Overdrive, Spark Booster had to be the grand finale to our take on drive, distortion and boost. Simply put, we wanted to make this one truly special and in order to do so, we took inspiration from our own history.

I don't think that is what I want since they don't mention the BLD at all..
 
no?

Rooted in tradition - aimed at rebellion.
Whether you are a starting guitarist or a seasoned pro, chances are you've heard of us at some point. For many this will be about our reputation in Reverbs, Delay and Modulation effects, but for guitarists who know and love their boost- and distortion greats, it will be about one of our first pedals: the TC Electronic Booster + Line Driver & Distortion. A true classic in its own right and the perfect starting point for Spark Booster. To this day, the Booster + Line Driver & Distortion is used by high-profile pros as diverse as Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Allan Holdsworth, and it is a highly sought after pedal on the used market. We took all that made the Booster + Line Driver & Distortion so immensely popular and brought it into the 21st century. And so, Spark Booster is not a 1:1 port, nor is it a reissue or a tribute. Rather than that, Spark Booster represents a modern take on all that made the TC Electronic Booster + Line Driver & Distortion such a fantastic pedal - and the ultimate declaration of our love for amazing boost and distortion sounds, aimed squarely at guitarists that want to spark their creativity.
 
They did make a Reissue of the BLD but it did not sound as good as the original. I have an Original that i bought 3 years ago for 175.00. check ebay and all the used guitar shops online and see if one pops up.
 
There are 3 or 4 of them on ebay right now...the most expensive is 250.00
