The Klon did until the Klones came along

EDIT - suppose it depends on your definition of boutique
I'd say something like Landgraff Dynamic Overdrive, dunno if it's worth it.
I've yet to to see any bad words about them.. and in all the demos they sound sublime.
IMHO Simon Jarret is a genius.

I paid £160 for a King of Tone V2 that I thought reasonable. I paid £185 for a FD2 in 2001 that I thought expensive at the time. I still have all three pedals and still use them all (on two boards).
The trick with booteek overdrives IMHO is that they dont fix your sound they add that little extra to it. THe guitar and amp have to be good in the first place. I play bass in a covers band (on off) and we are all guitarists. So we all pooled our gear for a TGP style show off fest. We tried a setup that was the drummers 56 LP custom and the vocalists Matchless Lightning. It sounded really really good. However when we kicked in a Klon (three of us have them) with the gain at 9 o clock it got really good.

but..
at the moment, I'm running an old Proco rat, and a nobels ODR-1, and a klon clone.
That;s a very versatile setup in their and tbh, is as good as any of the above imo.
The only pedal I really regretted selling was the nobels odr-1.. So got another one, and its awesome.
