I know, comparing dirt boxes in prose gets us into "cork sniffing" terminology... But let's throw caution to the wind here & risk a little ridicule 
Can you Earth Drive users who have had time to compare the unit to other drives please chime in with some direct comparisons?
Specifically , I'd like input regarding the difference you hear between the Earth Drive and a stock TS808. I know the two drives are not based on the same circuit, but hearing the two compared by those with experience of both will help me understand the Earth Drive better. I know what I am looking for in relation to a TS808, and it makes a great reference point for IC based ODs. (Is the Sarno IC based? That's an assumption on my part... Sound is significant to me here though, not circuit specifics...)
Compression level? Clipping character? Frequency response? What are your opinions?
I've listened to all available sound samples on the site as well as YouTube, so I'm really just looking for experiential input. I have had plenty of other ODs & am familiar with a lot of the main players, so if you can drop some other comparisons that would be helpful as well!
