I was actually wondering if maybe a nice fuzz might do what I'm looking for as well. I'll go dig up some sound clips.

i once thought i wanted a Tube Screamer, but now that i have my Fulltone '69 Fuzz Face I wont ever get another type of distortion, i like it so much. If you like Hendrix sorta tones, go for this. I love the amount of lows and the big warm fuzz i get from it.

Nah, you're right. Lots of people have those little South Park guys, I'd rather be unique.

And blatantly obvious.

Sounds great, but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the tip though, that's a killer country/blues type OD pedal.

Hi FretFire.

I suggested that OD because you had asked for:
"The one tone that I'd really like to get and can't from my current rig is a thick, liquid, sustaining, violin-like overdrive for jazz/fusion. Yes, reminiscent of "the D-word" . I've read accounts of pedals being able to get in the ballpark (which is really all I can ask for, considering my budget ), most recently the HAO Rumble Mod."

(FYI) The Zendrive clips were done by Jazz and Country players, but that is just their styles. The Zendrive has a Dumble quality to it...In fact, it's been said that Robben Ford actually uses the Zen when he doesn't have his Dumbles available! Keep in mind that it is a medium gain OD...Just wanted to clear up some things for you.

Yeah, I listened to the clips and liked what I heard (especially from Mr. Lerner, but I figured he was running the pedal into his Fuchs amp which already has those qualities I desire). It seems to be based on the Tubescreamer design though, which isn't what I'm looking for here. If I'm wrong about that assumption though, please correct me :).
 
Re: Wondering about an OD pedal...

Right now, my top 3 prospects are (in no particular order):

HAO Rumble Mod
Menatone Howie
Fulltone OCD

If anyone wants to chime in with some thoughts/ideas/experience, I'd appreciate it :).
