TC Electronics Classic Booster + Distortion reissue, good?

[redrol]

I noticed that TC reissued the classic Line Drive/Distortion box with different styling and knobs. Has anyone purchased one of these? How is the tone compared to an original?

I have an original number 942 and I love it to death. Even to the point that I need to buy another one 'just in case'. So I figured I would ask.

How much gain does the original have? Do you use it as a distortion or a booster? I am intrigued...

The original has 6DB boost and the treb and bass have -16 -+16db. I use it as a booster, the distortion setting is for blues or jazz.

The original is the holy grail of booster pedals. It is incredible what it does to Marshall type amps. I have a voodoo modded Hex Marshall 2204 1978 and I use the TC to hit the front end hard. Turns any Marshall into a modern level of gain and grind. Honestly I couldn't live without it.

Its more like a 30 db clean boost 0 - 6 on the level knob is not db !
The distortion part is a mild breakup at best.
