What OD would you put onto this board?

Godlykepower

I’ve started building a pedalboard that currently contains the following pedals:

Fairfield Circuitry Accountant -> ThorpyFX Peacekeeper -> RAT -> Strymon El Capistan -> Boss RV500 -> Ditto X4

i like the RAT, but I only find it usable within quite a narrow range - I don’t like it so much for the occasional times I want to give it some welly.

What would you swap the RAT for then? The majority of the time, I like a more bluesy, mellow overdrive, but occasionally like to ramp things up, but not for long.

What OD/distortion can do this? Not really got a budget in mind, but I’d prefer something in-keeping with the other pedals.

I can’t be arsed traipsing around to many shops to try things out, so I’m mainly going on recommendations and online reviews.

On the list so far, are:

Nobels ODR1
Ryra Klone 
Fulltone OCD
DOD Looking Glass

ODR1- full and smooth, fattens up bridge single coils and stacks well.

Klone - mid hump means it works well into mid scooped amps, boost is more linear. 

Ocd - like a TS with a flatter frequency range and grittier

Not tried the DOD

I'd get the ODR & stack a TS style into it or pony up and buy a Thorpy Gunshot

Blackstar HT20 head and cab with speaker changed to Vintage 30 and tubes all changed to Tung Sol.

Really only need to use my PRS Bernie Marsden, so I’ve a Gretsch of some sort and a Tokai about to go on the chopping block.

I like playing classic rock style stuff, so Gary Moore, Warren Haynes-ish mainly, although I sometimes like messing around with ambient, Floyd type stuff (I mainly use a Boss GT100 when this mood takes me) but the heaviest I will ever go is Iron Maiden. Yesterday, I relived my youth and was doing some Malmsteen though! Anything heavy is usually short lived, but when I want to do it, I want to do it well.

Boss bd2 and sd1 worth a look. Jrad guthrie trapp od. Ehx soulfood.

Sassafras

Way Huge Fat Sandwich if you want to ramp things up a notch. Nice dynamic aggressive distortion.

Selah Feather Drive. A bit more Marshall-flavoured than a Rat, but in a good way.

OCD is not related to the TS. 

Carew

Boss BD2 maybe

Went with a DOD Looking Glass. Had a quick noodle this morning, sounds pretty good just twiddling the knobs randomly. I’ll sit down with it later and have a good run with it.

I'm with you on this re:the OCD and won't stacking an ODR and TS is give you one helluva mid-hump?

If you want low gain, I'd look at a Way Huge Pork Loin, Liquid Sunshine or anything like that OR add a TC Spark or Wampler Tumnus
