Dang, I had figured Beta pre pedal. ODB-3s aren't that difficult to come by.

They’re also not cool ... so there’s this? Not sure.

Seeing Melvins in August though so that’s cool.

$300. Has anyone ordered one? And any word whether or not it's just a re-housed ODB-3?

It's definitely NOT a rehoused ODB-3. It might be a modified ODB-3 circuit in design. People could argue the merits/worth of that until the cows come home.

as much as i am a melvins fan...
Buzz has been known to do stuff just because he feels like doing stuff.
i believe there is an interview somewhere where buzz says, no one really buys vinyl to listen to, it’s just something to collect...

after hearing that, i’ve questioned every limited edition thing since.
