    Been investigating some lower gain Dumble-like tones in the $200 range.

    So far, I’m really lovin these:
    *Jetter Gain Stage Red
    *Hermida Zen Drive
    *Wampler Ecstasy Drive

    Have you used them?

    Apparently, the Jetter Gain Stage Red is a copy of the Hermida Zen Drive:

    I just got a Lovepedal Eternity. I have only used it for two gigs but it's great. It's one of those pedals you can leave on all the time and just roll back the volume when you need to clean it up.

    Mine is of course the Duhvoodoman - Zonkin Yellow Screamer. His Maxon SD-9 clone called the Sonic Tonic makes one hell of an overdrive as well. Excellent construction and outstanding tones.

    I was wondering if someone would mention those. Although it is primarily designed as a distortion box rather than an overdrive, I get a great overdrive sound out of my Rabid Rodent that DVM made for me. http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php?t=8655&page=2
    I just set it in overdrive mode (one of the six options), and dial back the distortion and it is oh so sweet. I don't know how to compare it to the others listed at the start of this thread, but it is a great versatile pedal. :

    The overdrive I am setting up is on the red led overdrive mode and is less distorted than how DVM has recorded his clips in the above thread. I am using it to find Mayeresqe tones that I am trying to achieve. It tends to be hotter, but maybe less midrangey and warm than the Bad Monkey when I set it up that way. At least that is what I think.

    My favorite overdrive pedal is the Zonkin' Yellow Screamer, by Duh Voodoo Man himself!
