I play mainly through a modded Fender Silverface Twin Reverb (1976 - the mod makes reverb/tremolo available in normal channel, which I prefer).
My board has 3 "overdrive" pedals.
(1) EHX Soul Food. See Al's posts. Transparent boost, or complement the amp as a "more" of your guitar/amp tone. Think Klon PLUS.
(2) General Guitar Gadgets (Kit) that's a TS808 Tube Screamer with a famous name modification -- great crunch, gets you through most classic rock, country, blues, etc. They include several chips to try, including the supposed "magic" one, when you build.
(3) "Brown Sound in a Box" (available as a kit or built from several online vendors -- I built mine) -- It's a One trick pony --> Cranked Marshall (but it's GLORIOUS). I sold my OCD v.4 when I heard this.
With these, I can generally dial in pretty much any overdrive tone I'm shooting for.

I just bought a Rockett .45 Caliber. Awesome. Better than the JHS Charlie Brown and more quiet.

I think I've found the best overdrive made: The Origin Effects "Revival Drive": https://origineffects.com/product/revivaldrive/
Mine will be here Thursday. There's a learning curve to use it, but nothing really hard. Handbuilt in England!

Light to medium, open versatile drive - Barber Gain Changer (or GCX)
Medium to Heavy drive, somewhat "Marshall-y" - Barber Compact Direct Drive
I have both on my board, and literally need NOTHING else........Les Paul, Tele, 335 or Strat.

ANY version of your countryman's most excellent offerings. Origin Effects, Cali76, or Sliderig will give you the greatest sustain on ANYTHING without ruining your tone. It will actually make your guitar sound BETTER. Just dial it in to where your sustain is long enough for you. You CAN take it too far even on these, but they are much better than anything else I have EVER tried. And I am older than dirt...
De VOS be drippin' wit da Greasy good tones provided ya' don't be skiddin' on da dullness. Bees international ! Polish da finnish!

Yes indeedy... it is manufactured by Precision Pedals for Boss and with these nifty dip switches you can select your exact amp model, pickup winder, string gauge, and pot/cap/pup dc values for further precise tweaking... it is the sous-vide of guitar pedals. :##
Hi guys. Believe it or not, I recently bought my first Volume Pedal. Before that, I used a device that I borrowed from a friend. The music is the same, but the pleasure of sounding is more, since it is mine, I don’t depend on anyone, you don’t have to ask anything, just bliss. In short, I have this baby https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZW1CDO. I really like the sound is clear, surround, everything is super, in general. True, for some this device may seem expensive. You can read this article https://bestazy.com/best-volume-pedal/, there are budget options. But in general, you know, you are a good fellow, that you decided to improve your music, to purchase additional equipment that will improve the sound quality. Some people think that they have perfect music without any additional devices, but they are mistaken, of course
