The Lightspeed seems more TS-based than anything. I think I have that sound covered.

Just ordered the Ethos. While it is supposed to be more Trainwreck-y than Marshall-y, and it has more gain than most Plexis, the basic gain structure is there. And it is one of the only pedal demos where they go out of the way to show how touch-sensitive it is. I got a pretty good price, so I can flip it if I really don't get on with it.Administrator of the SDUGF

There's also a negative side.

I did. My initial thought is that it *does* clean up well. The base tone isn't significantly different than what I already have access to, though. In other words, it is a good overdrive pedal, but not transformative. I haven't decided if I am going to keep it yet.Administrator of the SDUGF

I feel like the differences in a lot of these circuits become more apparent at higher gain levels, perhaps more than you typically use?
I don't mind trying it though, if it helps me figure out what I want.Administrator of the SDUGF

Both a Timmy and OCD are good at this, but those are sounds I have more or less covered. I might try a combination of pedals and overdriven 6v6s to get me where I want to go. Or, just concentrate on something else!Administrator of the SDUGF

Have you considered the Zen Drive (or clone)? There are also a couple Dumble In Box pedals that might give you something different than what you already have.
Also, I recently discovered a company called Dirty Haggard Audio. They make a pedal called the "797" which is a modified, finely tuned variation on the DOD 250 circuit. The 797 is handwired in the US, sounds fantastic through the whole gain range and costs about $70.00 new. Game changer pedal for me and I really like that it has a different character than the typical TS, Klon or Blusebreaker pedals many people use for low gain OD.

I have a tc electronics mini spark that I love a lot because it’s a 20 fb boost that adds a little compression and shimmer when I kick it on.
I think you should look at a fortin-33, however. I think it’s a dark horse that could be up your alley.
