Your favourite overdrive pedal ever......

Sassafras

Boss OD 2.
Others have come and gone but that's never left my board. I've even got a spare just in case.
Pork Loin comes a close second.

DOD 250 - just perfect, doesn’t need more than two controls.

Philtre

My King of Tone clone that I built.

ZenOvertone

Mad Professor Simble or Bluebird (sadly discontinued now)

Winny_Pooh

No rules stated so two Buffalo TD-X. One for smooth and one set for grit.

jeztone2

For driving an amp: My Monte Allums modded Boss SD-1 that got stolen in 2016 Grrrr! Or the TC Mojo Mojo.
 For amp in a box goodness: Marshall Guv'nor Mk1/ Marshall Drivemaster, Goosoniqueworx 7thvn, JHS @. ;;

Grumpyrocker

Digitech Hardwire SC-2 Valve Distortion.

Going to be rather miffed if it ever breaks. Though it is built like a tank. Surprised Digitech stopped making the Hardwire pedals because they are stunningly good for the price.

ICBM

The ‘Natural Overdrive’ mode on the Boss ME-50 - really.

If it has to be a single pedal then the Boss DF-2.

monquixote

Liquid Sunshine V2

Honourable mentions to the ThorpyFX Peacekeeper and Prince of Tone.

Me too. I sold my '84 and kept the reissue (shock horror!) 

lasermonkey

Liquid Sunshine V2.

Grocer_Jack

Digitech Bad Monkey - gain rolled all the way off, bass and treble both maxed. Haven't gigged or recorded without it for the last decade or more. 

Honourable mention to the Lovepedal Les Lius, especially on 'Twin Mode'  - jangly and crunchy.

I don't think I can pick one, but in no particular order:

Rockett Archer/Arc Klone
Anarchy Gold Class
Ninevolt/Animal Pedals Surfing Bear
Selah Feather Drive

DesVegas

Dope Fx Everything Zen or a rat

preston61

The next one

Probably the Skreddy Screwdriver Deluxe clone I built.

...meaning the real thing is likely even better.

Dominic

Tumnus
 then a Timmy
all very much depends on what amp it goes into and what guitar combination
Les Paul into Marshall type with a Rangemaster style ,old school ,boring treble boost in the middle is a Weapon of Mass Destruction..........a truly awesome sound

soma1975

Yep a germanium treble booster into an OD or cooking amp is amazing.

Don't be so sure. ;-) Probably just marginally different. I've built quite a few different clones and some are pretty close to the originals. When it comes to pedals, it's either a useful sound or not a useful sound.
