Re: Whats your Favorite, Fuzz, Distortion, Overdrive pedals
If I had the money... I would buy the BB Pre-amp pedal. That sounds better than anything else out there IMO.....
For my purposes right now I am using a Coffin Blood Drive with a lot of noise suppression
Pedal sounds really good but noise wise.... the pedal is as nasty as it looks ... LOL I use this on my amp's clean channel for classic rock tones. Bad Monkey sounds OK too but it sucks tone in bypass mode... enough to bother me
For Fuzz I use a BBE Free Fuzz - Original Chassis Model (Does the Job)
I use my amps pre-amp section for heavy Overdrive with a BBE Orange Squash Compressor for some added sustain.

I mostly use amp distortion but my favourite devices of this kind are:
Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster - for clean boost
Digitech Bad Monkey - for cleanish boost on a driven amp or overdrive into a clean amp. Very versatile and great bang for buck.
Carl Martin Plexitone - Excellent crunch and high gain Marshallesque tones with solo boost. Gotta keep the amp clean for this one.

Fuzz - Jordan Boss tone THE Fuzz standard of them all!!
Metal Distortion - Boss Metal Zone with the Allums Sustainiac mod. Silky SMOOTH and dynamic and also feels real!

My favorite ever, wrote a 2-parter on it on my blog. It's more a "more" pedal, tough to pin down exactly:

I use my Twin Tube Classic on the rhythm channel with volume high and gain low to overdrive my Egnater Rebel 20 with a clean or already slightly broken up tone.
Depending on the need: for a harsher edgier sound, I'll use my Keeley modded DS-1 for distortion, but if I want a smoother classic sound, I'll use the Twin Tube Classic's lead channel.
I had a Fuzz Face back in the day. Liked it but don't use fuzz sounds now.
I had a Boss Metal Zone back in the day. Now I just use the DS-1 with the gain set lower for a lead boost with a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 401 on the OD2 channel scooped, or my Vox AD60VTX on the Soldano model, high gain, scooped.
