Danelectro Fab Tone! I used to use this for fuzzy ZZ Top tones way back in the day.

One that I got last year that I never see is the Vaderin HP-X. It’s a harmonic percolator circuit. I use it for really blown out fuzz tones.

A drive pedal that can make coffee! Caffeinated Overdrive!!! (trademark new band name)
Pedalmonsters White Lightning. It’s supposed to be a Supro-style pedal, with the bonus of a voltage-starve knob that compresses, squashes, and adds just a little static and grit. I love it into my Vox amp— humbuckers really bring out the best in the pedal. Always on
I've never even seen one of these before. How are you using it?
I don't think I have played enough drives to choose one tbh. Hmm.
How about a fuzz turned down. I've used both fuzz face and muff like this and it sounds excellent. Otherwise I'd say the mosky golden horse is underrated, but I see people saying that often. It definitely does the job for 30 bucks.
It really is a swiss army pedal, so I kind of use it for whatever the situation calls for. It does the light-overdrive thing really well, as well as the "pseudo fuzz" tones, and everything in between. Its like a more refined BD2.
Lately I've been using it as a light-to-mid overdrive.
Oh that sounds nice, I tend to just do low to mid gain stuff, I've yet to try a bd2. I've settled on a dual bluesbreaker currently for light to mid gain. I'll turn my fuzz face on too sort of like a boost and tone enhancer/eq.
I'm still relatively new to the pedal world, but I've learned a shitload following the subject pretty closely over the last year or two.

I picked one up on a lark because it was cheap and I was vaguely curious about it for some years. Turns out it's one of my favorite drive pedals ever. The overdrive side is very light and can be used as a cleanish boost or to add a jangly crunch. The distortion side is a little bland with the Volts knob turned all the way up, but gets a nice velcro splutter with the Volts dialed back. Pretty versatile drive.
