Theres a place called Owen Electronics that'll clone pedals. They sell a behringer distortion 'big muff' that essentiall is an electro harmonix big muff.

What about Behringer studio equipment... the big equalisers and stuff... they any good?

I think I explained it in my previous post but I'll do it again.
You buy Behringer, you take a gamble They use other peoples circuits (as far as they can without infringing patents after Drawmer threatend to sue them) but use cheap (i.e. unreliable, poorly quality-controlled) components in shoddily built boxes with interfaces (buttons, knobs, switches) that any 3 year old could break in a week.
I've lost count of the amount of on/off switches that have popped out in my hand (there's still one Behringer unit in Drummonds that has to be switched on by poking your finger, or in my case any available object, like my multi-tool which is all metal, into the innards; millimetres from a capacitor. I love it, gives the job a sense of danger*)
