I do love the growly squishiness of my Liquid Sunshine mkiii but find it a bit dark sounding at home volumes.
In terms of the breakup, compression etc it’s definitely my favourite pedal - just wish it had an overall presence knob to compensate for playing environment - the internal bright switch is a bit all-or-nothing. I am already looking into a brighter speaker in the amp.
Looking on the market, the Catalinbread Formula 55 seems the most similar in terms of circuit type, features and sound clips.
The Mad Professor Big Tweedy also has a presence control and sounds pretty good in clips.
Any others I might have overlooked?

Joyo American Sound - very tweakable.
Avoid the Wampler 57 Tweed - loads of adjustment but no good sounds. It can do a passable Bassman to be fair, but that's not what you want.
I like the sound of the Brantone Tweed but not played one.
Hon. mention for the Greer Ghetto Stomp - more Fender-y to me, but can also be a little dark.
Menatone Ms Foxy Brown.
