I have too many pedals, amps and pre-amps. The Boss ODB-3 is a classic I keep around. While it works great by itself, I typically pair it with a slightly overdriven SansAmp BDDI. I find it to be a little less grainy, warmer and fuller. This is one of the best values for an overdrive that can push into distortion or fuzz. Wide range of adjustment with the EQ and the blend to let more clean bottom end through. Why buy a cheap Chinese pedal when you can get this for about the same price. It may be used, but they just run and there's a ton gf them out there because they're good, reliable and sound good.
