Suggestions boost/overdrive for Strat bridge pickup

[RevDoom73]

Don't let it fool you, the SD Pickup Booster does have the ability to give you fatter humbucker type of tone/response from your single coils but that's not all it does, it has the ability to retain your true Strat-y tone while also adding some much needed volume boosting. I've used the Pickup Booster pedal with both my Strats as well as with a Tele to great effect, without changing what I love about the tone of those guitars. And yes I really like the idea of trying the FORZA, honestly I feel like that pedal gets unfairly overlooked a lot and I've had some killer results with that too. Using the Forza along with my MIM Tele into an Orange 30 watt head is one of my favorite tones I've ever gotten.

I was gonna say just go with a TS9 - but OP's eq/clean/etc makes me think Timmy is the better choice.

Well even with the plethora of good suggestions, I had to start somewhere, so I ordered an MXR Timmy. Everything I’ve read says it’s made to push a roaring Marshall, and combined with its very reasonable price and the fact that it was a quality low gain tone too makes me think it will be a good fit.

Keeley Katana,.It's a clean boost, if you need grit, you just pull out the volume knob and it becomes a top boost.

The Timmy is a great drive pedal, although I've never used it alone as a boost. Let us know how that turns out!

'TC Electronic Spark Booster the large one' - definitely. The Fat Boost option can do incredible things to a Strat bridge pickup. You can further tailor the sound with volume and gain plus active treble and bass knobs. Wonderful pedal and pretty cheap.
