I've got a BBE Green Screamer that I like.
And the Digitech Bad Monkey gets a lot of love around here, too. Cheap!
"Guitar Player" gave an "Editor's Pick Award" to the Digitech Hardwire Valve Distortion pedal recently.

cochrane timmy. i love my barber ltd running at 18v for a low gain transparent od, the kot clean channel is money for a low gain, not as transparent od/clean boost but timmy can be as transparent as you want or not at all and adds anything from a clean boost to a great juicy overdrive that is very dynamic. plenty of gain on tap too

I've really wanted to try an MI Audio pedal for a while.
Any love for the Fulldrive for the midhump, smooth OD sound?

Re: Favorite mid-gain OD pedal?
I am gonna say Bad Monkey. I KNOW there have to be better pedals out there, there just have to be.
And I have a plexitone, and a crunchbox.
But since I started running my marshall modded valve junior through a 1960 4x12, I really have only used the monkey. I need to find the time to thouroughly test all 3, since I need to sell 1 or 2 to fund my cab purchase. But I only get to run it every so often, and only for 30 minutes to an hour.
And I know the monkey into the amp sounds KILLER ! So I feel like I am wasting valuable jamming time to test out the others !
I WANT the plexitone to sound even more awesome, since that would give me basically 3 channels plus lead boost with just one pedal. Throw in delay, and wah and I should be set (I only use those every so often as well so they would not even be there most of the time)
but I also WANT the monkey to be all I need, since the plexitone would bring in the needed money to buy a cab !

Re: Favorite mid-gain OD pedal?
check thegearpage...you can pick up a used Blues Pro for under a $100 bucks easy!!! i bought mine for stupid cheap!!!
there are two versions...a black knob version without the fuzz switch (i have that one and it runs a bit cheaper used) and a white knob version with a fuzz switch!
i can get more tones than you can imagine from that little three knob box! it can do the TS mid hump thing and it can do a much smoother Zendrive thing as well! can be used as a boost all the way through low gain and medium gain to the edge of high gain!
on a side note i've also owned the HBE Power Screamer and it was a great pedal as well...but i could get the same tones out of the Blues Pro+ more...so i traded it off...great pedal though...probably could get a bit grittier than the Blues Pro!?
here's a few i'll throw out there for ya to check out!
MI AUDIO BLUES PRO
RADIAL TEXAS BONES
MJM PHANTOM OVERDRIVE
RETROSONIC 808
T-REX ALBERTA
HBE POWER SCREAMER

Rocktron Austin Gold OD...mid gain and very transparent. You have to really like your amp to like this one.
