OK sorry about the thread spamming with OD pedal questions and such, but this one is more specific.
My best friend who basically lives at the poverty line/works 7 days a week/goes to community college because he cannot afford to go to a public university/father is a vietnam veteran missing a leg because of a hand grenade explosion in combat, the list goes on. But despite the crap he goes through, he is hands down the most awesome, honest, honorable human being and friend.
I want to get him a good OD pedal. He is going to school for music and over the past 3 years he scraped together enough cash for a DRRI, and a friend of his gave him a MIM strat (he used to play a completely beat up epiphone SG special i believe?, the model that goes for 150 or 175 i don't recall). He is starting to play gigs with other students from Miami Dade College and is getting involved with the local jazz/fusion scene, and the style he plays could definitely use an OD pedal (he owns NO pedals to push his DRRI).
His styles range from Wes montgomery to John scofield, but he usually tries to dial up a relatively dark sustaining tone ala robben ford/larry carlton/trey anastasio. I'm guessing this is in the range of a dumble kinda tone, so what's a good OD pedal for 200-250 bucks max that could hit the nail on the head?
His amp is also starting to distort. He has the stock 6V6's and rectifier, i think im gonna go ahead and get him some JJ's 6V6's and a weber copper cap so he wont need to worry about tubes for a while.
