Dual Overdrive/Boost

kswilson89

Looking for a dual overdrive/boost to fill the last space on my pedalboard. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tend to prefer the more transparent overdrives and bluesbreaker variants. Currently I'm considering:

Mad Professor Twimble
Jellyfish Electronics Lucky Penny
CMATMODS Super Signa Drive
Coppersound Foxcatcher
JAM Pedals Lucydreamer Supreme

Does anyone have any experience with these or could suggest an alternative? I should mention I'm playing a 339 into a '68 CPR.

Thanks

Check out Thorpy FX - I just bought a Gunshot, goes great with my valve amp!

Foxrox ZIM. You can have mine...

Going to get lolled but I don't care! the Boss SD-2 Dual Overdrive does an lovely light sparkly crunchy/boost, it's my main low-med-high gain dirt box and its dead easy to use, just brilliant! the red lead channel has plenty of gain on tap. Oh! and it's superb with my Princeton Reverb.

I'm looking at the amptweaker tightdrive pro at the moment, its a very versatile drive with separate boost.

based on your description, King of tone would be good or the Fredrick Effects Golden eagle, Menatone howie 2 if you can find one, JHS double barrel, but be warned one side is very tube screamer, if you're feeling spicy the keeley tone workshop pedal (3 in 1 in the same size box) could be really interesting to you, Keely DM drive would also be in the ball park you describe, 
got all the above so can give personal view on them.

I've not tried one yet, but as listed above the Dane from thorpy is getting really positive reviews,

Okko Diablo GH works very well in that application, it’s much better in a mid-low gain role than the regular Diablo. Boost is good too.

Ethos OD.

Chasebliss Brothers? I have one if you want it? Looks very complex but is very easy and intuitive use, two differently voiced boost, drive and fuzz circuits which can be used independently, stacked in any order or run parallel.

I have a Lovepedal Vintage Modern for sale - might be what you are looking for...

I was out of the box impressed with the Hamstead Odyssey. The revival drive offers many more options but the honeymoon period has turned into an uncertain marriage. If the Hamstead had two footswitches, it would have never left my board. Hamstead's recommendation is you buy two.

I like the afterburner if budget is small, built like a tank too

I picked up an Xotic AC Plus Booster in one of Andertons 'epic deals'. They still have some in stock too with the best part of £100 off!

Has the nice option of overdrive into boost, or boost into overdrive too.

The ethos is amazing - it does have its own sound but I love it.      
The king of tone is my other favourite, if you haven’t tried one then I’d give it a go.

I agree; it's a superb pedal - I have the Boost on low most of the time, and use the Drive side as needed.

Another vote for ThorpyFX.

Everything I've played of theirs is superb. Sounds like The Dane could be exactly what you're looking for.
