I get some decent TONEZ from my BD-2

Saltbooster. It doubles the amount of knobs in my amp/pedals setup.

At the moment I'm into the TS9DX, great little pedal has 4 modes TS9, +, Hot & Turbo.

I go between the TS7 (2 modes TS9 & Hot.*) and the SD-1 depending on if I want the mid-hump or not. The "drive" really does sound a lot better on the SD-1 but the TS7 cleans up better.

* not that I ever use the hot mode. I generally just sit it on TS9 and turn the drive all the way down. The Hot is good to use with fuzz pedals for crazy noise stuff though.

Still looking for it

looking for something crumbly and a bit raspy...can't explain it not cheesey and smooth like a tube screamer or what I would consider most 'classic OD's.

I've always liked the Danelectro Pastrami - it's sort of like a cross between an OD and a fuzz. Really gritty and lo-fi.

I like the SD-1 for more mainstream sounds.

I'd recomend a DOD Mystic Blues Overdreive or a Juice Box, DOD doesnt quite have the best reputation, but these two overdrives are some of the best ive ever used.

SD-1 for me... I bought one a couple of years ago with the intention of modding it, but I really got into it so have left it stock...

i've tried and tried and i just cannot get away from this pedal. i buy something new and kick it off my board but it follows me around, whimpering at my heels til i give in.

i'm going to rehouse it though, the switch is pretty crappy. i'm on my second one, i wrecked the first one i had.

mine used to be the BD-2. i used it for everything, never took it off my board. in recent times, i've gotten sick of that and pedals in general. i keep looking for something new to inject into my sounds. currently I'm using an SD-1, which like Stewart's soundtank, always comes though.

I'm on the fence with tubescreamers, mainly as i've never played anything like a TS-9 or 808. I have a timmy clone which is based on a tubescreamer and i tried Fran's TS-7, which i was pretty impressed with.

Crappy picture, but here is my favorite.

As much piss this pedal takes, but when I had it I loved it to death, Next fuzz i buy, next to the one I'm making.
Btw, I thought it had a decent overdrive too.
