Open up just about any overdrive pedal and you will most likely find a variant of a Tube Screamer. It's the same with Fuzz pedals. Especially in the "boutique" pedals.
Rats are becoming more common, big muffs are seen, but dozens of pedals are cloned, but tubescreamers are so common its not even funny.

Fuzz Face clones are also fairly common.

why go with clones? Clones tend to be expensive.

People tend to pay for clones as a step up in quality, not a step down in price.

I know, and that would be a valid reason, but it seems as if the posters in this thread are wanting cheaper pedal clones. The dano series is about it for that.

FYI posters looking for clones, Eric here makes killer pedals.

I think most of the Behringer pedal line are also cheap clones.

The obvious ones are:
V-Tone Acoustic Drive DI ADI21 = Tech 21 something (Para Driver I think)
V-Tone Bass BDI21 = Tech 21 Bass Driver DI
Chorus Space C = Boss Dimension-C (an old school Boss pedal no longer made)
Blues Overdrive BO100 = Boss BD-2
Dynamics Compressor DC9 = MXR Dyna Comp
EQ700 = GE-7
Hell-Babe Wah = Dunlop 535Q
Phaser PH9 = MXR Phase 90
Slow Motion SM200 = Boss SG-1 Slow Gear (another discontinued classic)
Vintage Time Machine = EHX Deluxe Memory Man

That's just a small sampling. From what I can tell they pretty much cloned every Boss pedal and many of the classics from MXR, Ibanez and EHX.

Biyang pedals are clones, I believe. They are cheap and have metal cases too!

I forgot Behringer, and there have been a few other, clearly pirated boss designs I have seen, I don't know, I just don't trust the reliability of Behringer

A friend of mine got their boost pedal. It's a decent quality sound, but the box feels like low-grade plastics. It makes the Danelectro mini pedals look indestructible.

You didn't forget much. Not only reliability but quality as well.. Speaking from experience I had one of their tuners, worst tone sucking POS I've ever owned. It broke alright, several buttons fell off...

A friend of mine bought a few of their pedals... They all sound awful, really just terrible...

It's worth it to save up a little more and get a decent quality pedal. Especially if you are gigging with it.
