Pleasing: Notable mentions here go to the Fredric Klone, ThorpyFX Peacekeepr and Gunshot (stacked they are magic!) and the Origin Revival Drive Compact. However the winner has to be the HX Stomp. I was very dismissive to digital/modelling stuff previously and never liked any previous Line6 products but this thing won me over and is now the fulcrum of my whole rig.
Pleasing-Took the aforementioned Klon to a band rehearsal. The nasal mids cut through a band mix like no other pedal.
I've actually never come across a pedal, amp or guitar that sounds bad at home but good at gig volume. Some do sound better loud, but only if they sound OK at low volume too. I don't think any of the Klon-type pedals I've tried sounded uninspiring, I think they sound bad .
But then I love the DS-1 .
I suppose the SD-1 I just got probably counts as disappointing too - it's not terrible at all, but it doesn't sound as good as I remember them doing. On the other hand it seems to have less bypass bleed than they usually do, so it's not all bad...

Most pleasing? Not sure if the AX8 counts but still think its ace. HX Stomp too. As for regular pedals, an SD1 with Monte Allums GT Mod - shouldn't have sold it. Boss DD200 - first delay that I gelled with having tried a few.
Most pleasing: Joyo Sweet Baby into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or Pro Jnr
DOD FX25B filter. Was supposed to be an upgrade on the FX25. It wasn't.
Pleasing: Boss OD-1X; Source Audio Spectrum filter; Guitarsystems Fuzztool Jnr.
The Fuzztool is just amazing. Best FF type I've ever heard. Always brings a smile to my face.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Good pedal - Empress Heavy, which has worked consistently well with all amps I've tried it with, and is highly tweakable.
Phil Robinson Phuzz. A new one.
Give me a 12 bit DDL any day.
I said maybe.....
Ocd v2. Played a 1.4 for a few years and always liked it. Hated the v2 as just went from nothing to mush immediately.
Tc nova drive. Just very bland.
Wampler euphoria. Its not bad at all but compared to the hype is decidedly average.
Thorpy warthog and also gunshot. They are good but i dont think they're amazing at anything. I hated the swoosh sound when moving the knobs.
On the other hand barber gain changer and also the burn unit. Two of the best drive pedals I've ever had and I've been through over 100.
Ibanez ph7 my favourite phaser pedal ever.
Proco rat. It sounds huge and is versatile once you work out the relationship between the filter and drive knobs.
Bbe sonic stomp.. always on pedal and just makes everything sound better.
Most pleasing: Boss SD-2, HX Stomp, EP Booster & Dunlop Echoplex. Boss DSD-2, Boss PS-3, Boss CE-5
Thumbs up -Tumnus ,Mad Prof Golden Cello , Nobels OD1 , Wampler Pantheon, Trombetta bone machine
Most pleasing - Mk1 Bluesbreaker
I feel the TD-X is brilliant for lead tones, I use it with bass and treble at 9oclock (cut basically) which effectively bumps up the mids.
OCD 1.7 meh
Thorpy warthog - absolute quality into a midrange heavy amp
Thorpy gunshot - awesome marshall style distortion, If I had to pick only one drive pedal for everything it could be this one.
Proco rat - fizzy & processed sounding
