Suhr Riot?

Well if Marshall did a modern mk 1 Guv'nor reissue in a smaller box, or even a 2 channel version aka a RAT Deucetone then that'd be great. But as they are a Fridge & Headphone brand now. And seemingly completely oblivious to the expanding pedalboard market, So I 'd suggest the Carpe Diem by Fire. The Dirty Little Secret by Catalinabread. Or if you want more 70's tone a Carl Martin Plexitone Solo. 

Im sure there are more. They are just the ones I've tried.

There are loads of great pedals of this sort but I would avoid JHS like the plague.

I had one of them. They are brilliant. But I thought it was really noisy compared to my Goosoniqueworx 7thvn. I'd suggest that, but they seem to have disappeared from retailers now.

Had a Be-OD, but too high gain for me...even when tweaked....great sound but looking for Angus style.  Yep...Riot or Guv'nor...not keen on JHS....SHOULD have kept my Warthog!!

Carpe diem!?

Agree, i nearly bought a Thunderbolt but after reading up on JHS i decided that i couldn't bring myself to give that man my money.

I don't like donating money to hate mongering evangelists. 
But that's just me.

I offloaded my JHS pedal recently, and then shortly afterwards discovered that the owner of the company was a bigoted uber-Theist.

I wouldn't buy a jhs either.    

For a modern take I'd take a Suhr riot and always had good results with them.  
with a bit more sag and brown sound I really like the Wampler pinnacle.
A higher gain - Friedman be-od sounds good in the clips and for something less gainy I like the clips of the carpe diem.

Others I've had liked include the Carl Martin plexitone and the mi crunch box although I found the cb lacking a bit of character compared to the others.

Suhr Riot is a re-hash of the mk 1 Guv'nor I believe.

Based on but quite different sounding.
