Been exploring the wonderful world of tube drives and boosts. Managed to get a Kingsley Peasant which has utterly blown me away. Driving an AC15 it's a glorious noise. Which has peeked my interest in adding another of Kingsley's pedals more in a tweakable overdrive style.
I have a one major requirement which will rule out some of the pedals, must run on 9v (I have an Effectrode Tube Drive which needs 12v and I don't want to run an external supply or change my power supply on my board - Strymon Zuma). Had a look on the Kingsley site, but it's a disaster of a website IMHO.
My line of thinking currently is that I can either stack the Peasant with a Page or Page TS, or opt for something like the Minstrel or Harlot.
Anyone got any real experience of these for a good rocky rhythm tone.

There is a fair amount of crossover, I think more so with the V3 versions of the pedals and each one can reasonably approximate the sounds of the others. These pedals do appreciate volume too, so application can make a big difference.
I preferred the V2 to the V3. I’d definitely have another one at some point.
I also have a Jester, Page and a Constable and they are all stunning. The Page or the boost on the Jester into the Constable is absolutely sublime!
Your issue will be running on 9v. I can’t recall if the Harlot does
Harlot vote from me too.

Re 9v, don't forget they need 500mA.
