I'm still on the look out, what's out there? I know this is getting a little tedious and this topic has been done to death.
I'm currently trying out a Zvex Double Rock, the jury is still out, it seems to have a bit of a farty low end but it's so bloody versatile, maybe just a little overkill for my needs, the two SHO's cascading sounds brilliant.
Not too many! but so far I've gone through the following:
Vintage 88' Rat 2 (A bit thin sounding! but really nice overdriven sounds)
Lovepedal HPPT (Owned twice, didn't sound as good second time round)
Crowther Hotcake (Loved the fuzzy high gain sounds but not so much the lower gain settings, probably more to do with my amp?)
Original TS-808 (combined with and used after the Rat, boxy, honky sounding but nice as a clean boost!)
Jam Pedals Rattler (Decent Rat Clone)
Walrus Audio Mayflower (Just didn't get along)
Wishlist:
BMF El Jefe
Buffalo TD-X
Buffalo Evolution
Arc Effects Soothsayer
Mr Black Thunderclaw
SS/BS Fuck Overdrive
Any variation of the OCD
MXR Distortion +
Black Cat OD-Boost
Black Cat OD-Fuzz

Nobels id_1r sounds great with fender amps and then stick a klon clone in front... heaven
I'm using a strymon sunset at the mom3bt and I'm starting to like it a lot
tubescreamers are great if you can turn the amp up a bit
lovepedal amp 11 quite nice
the barber pedals are designed around fender amps and sound spectacular (direct drive and gain changer both brilliant)
Blues driver sounds good to me now I've clipped the bright cap
i didn't personally care for the bogner Burnley but some people seem to love it with fenders and it's the definition of fat!
If you're looking to move your double rock on, can I call first dibs? Been meaning to try one out!

No, not a Klone (clone of a Klon), I'm talking about a Zendrive or clone.. Different beast altogether.

I do like the look of those Black Cat Pedals in particular the dual OD-FUZZ or OD-BOOST.
Sounds like your TDX was faulty. It's a very meaty pedal.

I needed to push my Princeton to 3 which is loud for bedroom levels to get the best of of it, with both the distortrons cascading I was getting into J Mascis territory.

I've also found that Fender amps seem to need stacked drive/distortion to get the best out of them - so I'll use either a Nobels ODR1 or similar with something like a RAT set to a lower gain than I'd normally run, to get the thickness plus the volume boost. That can get pretty huge and you can then tailor the tone on each pedal to remove any flub.
