Favorite cheap Tube Screamer based OD

Re: Favorite cheap Tube Screamer based OD

Another vote for the SD-1, I like the asymmetrical clipping a little better too, the 4558 chip is stock in them FWIW.

Anybody used one?

Sounds better than I would have thought:

 
Re: Favorite cheap Tube Screamer based OD

If you can find any of the visual sound V1 or V2 series OD's on the used market, I highly recommend them. The Route 808 is the standalone OD based on a TS808 with more output, a better buffer and a bass boost. The Double a Trouble is 2 Route 808 circuits in a double pedal. There is also the Jekyl and Hyde that pairs this circuit with a distortion and the Route 66 that pairs it with a compressor. There is also the Open Road which is more amp like and doesn't have the mid bump of a TS.

The V3 series is also good, but more expensive.

The east river drive is great. Less nasal than my 80's MIJ TS9. The SD-1 and MXR pedals are solid choices too, but I prefer the erd myself. I've had all three.

I picked up a TS-7 at a yard sale a year or so back for $20. It has the "hot" switch and everything. Does that qualify?

Marshall Guv'nor Plus or Jackhammer pedals are pretty much a Marshall in a box. I would recommend modding them for true bypass. There are other mods available to change the voicing of the EQ for these pedals.

I recently got the Guv'nor Plus and while I find in stock form it's a tone sucker and a bit dark, the EQ mod is very simple. The pedal actually has a lot of potential.
