That's far too simplistic I'm afraid, yes it is TS derived, but what isn't, even though I draw the line at inflated prices an marketing BS, I don't get the "all tube screamer type pedals sound the same" argument, I've tried enough and they really don't.
Yeah of course, I'm not saying that you can't change how the thing sounds by changing a strategic component here and there, just getting something which is completely different may sound even better into a clean amp. or may not.
Small boxes with a single 12" and too many 12ax7s always seem too mid-heavy for a TS no matter how expensive, but big, deep-voiced amps which were in common use when the Tubescreamer was designed still sound great with it.

A lot of that clean, natural depth can get lost in a mix.
I would if I could find one, but a certain otter stopped making them.
other pedals, are the Barber Small fry which is awesome. I'm liking the plimsoul at the moment, initially when I got it i didn't take to it, but after a bit of fiddling starting to dig it big style. seems to work nicely into clean amp and also a dirty channel.
Most consistent ? ANY of the Bearfoot range

Was looking at the Bearfoot website the other day, very confusing range I have to say, but I am a Bjorn Juhl fan so there must be some good stuff in there somewhere.
I agree with the BM being under rated. I loves mine, although I use it as a gain/volume lead boost rather than a "core tone" pedal.
I find it sounds best into a valve amp (DSL) but a bit dull/lacklustre into a SS (Valvestate 30)amp.
