the ever continuing search continues...
I play strats/teles/les pauls through generally cleanish Fendery type amps. looking for a overdrive/distortion pedal that will stack well with a klone pedal and go from medium crunch to heavy rock. I'll use the klone for a boost/low drive.
Versatility is the key for this, but also needs to be reasonably compact
I have an old rat which I like but i do find it tends to make everything sound the same. so please no rats.

Have you tried an MXR Distortion+?
It's perhaps not the most versatile but its a great sounding drive.
They're very transparent with single coil pickups.
Very versatile. Particularly special with Strats.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Could not get a good sound out of it with a Wienbrock Gringo (5e3 type). hughes kettner statesman, or a quilter Pro Block. the videos sound amazing,
Sounded like a bunch of bees swimming in a vat fizzy lemondade..
