Now before you come in and start hollering "SFX-03!" hear me out.
Budget: Would like to spend <175 but will be willing to go up to 200.
I want a pedal that can both dirty up the clean channel of my amp as well as boost the OD channel (Peavey Classic 30). The huge thing I look for in OD tones is that when I play high notes, they really scream out as high notes. I love Robben Fords blues tones (but have not been impressed with the Zendrive clips I've heard). At the same time I want the tone to have some grit to it. Not just super smooth singing tones. The final piece of the puzzle is note distinction. I want to be able to play double stops, tritones, and chords and be able to hear the notes ringing.
The pedals I'm going out to play soon are:
Ibanez Ts9 (modded pedals by forum bro. Stratdeluxer are not out of the question)
Boss SD-1
Boss DS-1
Boss BD-2
Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive
Fulltone Fulldrive II
Fulltone OCD
Barber LTD
Maxon Ts9 clones (not sure what the difference between all of them is, but I'm going to play some)
A few other pedals that I am very, very interested in, but have no way of testing out before purchasing are:
Banzai Fireball
Banzai Cold Fusion
Menatone Blue Collar
Menatone Red Snapper
================================================== ========
What I'm looking for is suggestions that fit my description. Specifically pedals that I have overlooked and not included on this list.
Thanks for the time.
Edit: I'm playing w/ an MIM maple/maple neck + alder body strat that I'm either going to put SSL-1's or Chubtone 62's in.
