Knock off Chinese Pedals

so i have been buying a lot of junk from china of late, and a lot of it is perfectly good electronics.

especially with the rise in popularity of building your own pedals at home, i was wondering why i dont see any of the chinese resellers offering me their own brand knock offs of very good analogue pedals. I mean if they rebuild the circuits of everything else, why cant I buy a peppermint fuzz or an ar20dl in a cheap stompbox? sure I could break out the soldering iron and take a trip to radionics, but if i could buy interesting pedals for $20 that would make me very happy

does anyone know of a place which offers such a range?

Behringer and Danelectro do very good cheap clones. The Dano Cool Cat Fuzz is a Frantone Peach Fuzz, the Transparent Overdrive is a Timmy. The Behringer VD-400 is a Boss DM-2/3 (Can't remember which one), the Vintage Time Machine is an Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, Vintage Phaser is a Small Stone, Vintage Distortion is an approximation of a Big Muff, which apparently sounds really really good, though not exactly like a Big Muff. A lot of the Behringer pedals are pretty obviously Boss clones. You could get them on Thomann or something like that.
