Nordstrand Starlifter

I'm looking at a new preamp pedal when going on tour playing with in-ear monitoring only and came across the Nordstrand Starlifter pedal

It's around £280, which is not cheap but also a lot cheaper than e.g. the Noble preamp. Does anyone own one or have experience with using one of these?

Perhaps I'm missing something but their website says it's a clean DI tone - if it's not adding any preamp colour at all  (just 3 band EQ with sweepable mids) then doesn't the MXR M81 do the same job in a smaller footprint for about half the price?  Or a Q-Strip for a similar price but with additional EQ options?

Possibly, but this pedal offers more options (ground lift, -20 dB), a different EQ etcetera.

 

The Q-strip does have ground lift and -20db (plus 2x sweepable mids and HPF and LPF), and the M81 has ground lift. But yeah, perhaps the option of different EQ settings is a reason to go for the Starlifter instead.
