Two nice overdrives, from my experience: First, the Keeley-modified
Blues Driver is just beautiful for this, IMNSHO. 'Nuff said, there.
Also, the Catalinbread Silver Kiss has a very nice OD circuit paired
with an interesting 3-band EQ. The controls all interact with each
other (in a good way) so you've got to spend a while finding your
particular tone. But there's a lot to play with there. Also, it
cleans up nicely when backing off the volume knob on your guitar,
much the same way a good tube amp would. Oh, and you can swap out
op-amps to experiment with different drive tones too.
