Hi everyone who’s reading: I’m looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I’m using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it’s a “budget” one

    I was in fact thorn between the blues driver and a rat styled pedal. With my band I have a couple songs where we need a little more grit to it, like we’re in a kind of “the Clash” territory of grit.

      It sounds like the Rat might be more of what you are looking for. Blues can and does distort, but not THAT much. Try out a Rat, dial it back a little, then see what you think. Worst case scenario, you try stacking the TS and the Rat? Although, that may get untenable quickly.

      I’ll also put the Fulltone OCD overdrive onto your radar. It has a very wide range and my buddy loves it with his deluxe reverb. It isn’t as classic or super well-known, but it isn’t super obscure either.
