Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
In no particular order:
Seymour Duncan Classic Twin Tube
Boss FDR-1
Boss FBM-1
Wampler 57 Tweed
JOYO Sweet Baby
JOYO Deluxe Crunch
JOYO American Sound
JOYO British Sound
MXR m-133
TS-9
DS-1
Boss FB-2
On order...Tech21 FlyRig5
Favorite? Depends on the amp and guitar I'm using (and my mood, too). I rotate between most on the list from time to time. The DS-1 rarely gets used and the JOYO Amer. & Brit Sound must be used in conjunction with a noise gate due to their hiss, so they're used less also.
I usually have two set up to use: one w/ mild OD and the other with substantial crunch. But as a go-to in the signal chain of an on-the-edge-of-breakup tube amp, I find the JOYO Sweet Baby consistently appeals to my fickle tastes. Believe it or not...the least expensive of the herd. It has remarkable tone. Guess that means it's my favorite.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
My main three overdrives right now are a Joyo Sweet Baby, Mooer Hustle Drive and Mooer Blues Crab. I like different things about each of them, and they all have their uses.
Lately, I've been gassing for a Wampler Paisley and a Mesa Flux Five.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
My favorite OD tones come from my Mesa Mark Series amps. I have a Real Tube 901 on my pedalboard, but it doesn't get used much at all. It does a good job of getting me those smooth tones when I have to plug into a different amp. It has a 12AU7 tube in it, btw.
I'm looking at adding a Marshall-In-A-Box pedal and maybe a fuzz to my board, too.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
cool looking pedal. But am I a total nerd for immediately thinking "Doctor Who" when I saw it???
The one I just built that has a push/pull pot for 9v-18v switching via a charge pump and another push/pull for two clipping choices. Oh and a dymo label name because as TGP proved if you dymo label a tube screamer based pedal you can charge $600 for it LOL.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
I suppose all of my effects are variations of boost/overdrive/distortion: Keeley compressor (which can be a boost if I raise the level past 12:00) into a TS-7 set on hot, drive and level at 12:00 and tone at 10:00, into a Keeley modded MT-2 set to triple rec, volume at 12:00, gain at 1:00, Treble at 1:00, Bass at 3:00, Mid shift to 11:00 with level set at 9:00 and last but not least, a Keeley Katana set on clean mode with the volume at 7. I can use any of them separately to push the amp (either my Picovalve or Carvin XV-212), or various ones in series together, running all of them for a full tilt boogie lead sound.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
Hmm, not really.......especially if you're a Brit. Its a pretty big show now, and that theme was used in all ep's of that particular series.
If you thought Dalig Ulv Strand straight afterward then you probably are.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
Bone stock Tubescreamers and the mighty SD-1. I never have and still don't have any desire for any of the boutique stuff
For the price, the SD-1 is just exceptional really.
I tend to use drive/gain on zero on these pedals. Tone usually slightly left of 12o clock, and level set to either unity gain or higher for a hint of compression.
Sometimes I also like an EQ pedal as a boost

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
I have the unpopular opinion of having not yet found an overdrive that is any practical use to me. I find for heavy rhythm stuff, the gain on my amps I use sound fine as they are and overdrive colours my pick attack, knocks out the low end and adds a sort of a quack to the high mids.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
Unfortunately I have no way to record proper clips of it, no mics or recording interface.
I can best answer that question by letting you know the other names I considered for it... RYCBAR, Impossible Drive and Trenzalore.
Yeah, I'm a Whovian since the 2005 reboot and have seen every episode, big fan. I wanted to name it something Clara related since I'm smitten with Jenna but Bad Wolf is just an awesome name for a drive pedal and sounds cool even to people who don't watch the show and just see a pedal. I have another variation of it from my prototyping stage that will also be getting a Who related name, just need to decide what.

Very very cool. I'm a fan too. Freaking Amy, man. I would drink her bath water. I haven't been this struck by a woman's beauty since I was Uma Thurman's eye wrangler on the set of pulp fiction.

Re: What is your favorite overdrive?
I'm going to go with:
1) Catalinbread Galileo if I want bright overdrive
2) Mojo Hand Mystick Octavius if I want broader mids than the Galileo

Tortured valves for me, please.
Not strictly overdrive but I like type of clipping caused by bit reduction. Voilà, a pre-owned Mooer LoFi Machine.

Aye! If that counts as an overdrive I rescind my previous statement. The LFM is a staple of my sound for all kinds of industrial noises.
