Your favourite overdrive pedal ever......

Dave_Vader

Little Bear R.Atttack or Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive (best TS clone out there and only £20)

Johnnyseven

Boss Angry Driver.

Sassafras

Whichever one TGP tells me is the best.

Since getting my Tremoverb I've not found the need for one but....

probably owned more TS pedals than anything else, still have a Gearmandude TS808.

I enjoyed the MXR D+ & DOD 250 I had

Probably the Skreddy Screwdriver Deluxe clone I built.

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

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.

You may be right. I suspect he uses better components than I did, so perhaps a bit quieter.

It's also got a Ge transistor in it- I think I got one in the right gain range and leakage and all that jazz, but I'm no expert. Again, may make little or no difference (it's more like a Coloursound Power Boost / Overdriver than a Fuzz Face, I think), or it might be night and day.

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.

I have one of these, and it is indeed rather good.

Having said that, I don't have an overall favourite, it's horses-for-courses for me. I have a Revival Drive, but I use it as an amp simulator rather than an overdrive pedal.

My home built Xotic BB clone.
For some reason it sounds even better than the real thing.
Some stated resistor and capacitor values were not obtainable in the UK so I had to serial/parallel combine compents to get the values required.. sometimes using three components combined.
I wonder if this has effected the signal?

My Favourite overdrive of late is the Hudson Broadcast which is stellar, albeit a bit different...Waz is right, the Duellist is very very good... not sure it’s £350 good, buts it’s very flexible....

Germanium fuzz plus the Revival Drive.

Biyang Tone Fancier. Funny name but some really great tones if you experimented with the 3 chips it is supplied with. I only sold it because I became obsessed with getting micro versions of everything.

Having heard your Goosoniqueworx, I'm surprised more people haven't got these
