Can I get some recomendations for a great OD for humbuckers and single coils, but mostly humbuckers? This will be used with vintage fender amps mostly. I prefer to go straight into the amp, but cant always turn my amps up all the way, so I need something to get some good drive sounds when I cant crank it. Thanks. Also if its under $200 that would be good too.

Analogman King Of Tone... works great with all guitars and amps that I've tried it with... a lot more than $200 though.

those analogman sound really good man but if your on a budjet try a boss sd-1.It picks up more highs than a tube screamer. The mxr zakk wylde sounds cool but I prefer the boss sd-1.If you got butt loads of cash then get a analog man pedal they got tons of different ones

It's not the flavor of the month - but I still think the Fulldrive II is one of the best! Here's a good demo of the Fulldrive II with humbuckers...

Thanks guys. I hadn't considered the KOT. I'm sure its great as I have a bunch of analogman's stuff. How about his modded BD-2? There is still a long wait for the KOT right?

Isn't the KOT out of your price range? I thought they were like $400?

Anyway....for under $200, I'd look at the Barber Direct Drive. Sounds heavenly with a Fender amp.

My Throbak Overdrive Boost is great with both HB's and single coils (but it kills with HB's). It's the best pedal I've ever come across. Extremely versatile overdrive and excellent EQ. Awesome silicon fuzz tone plus it's like 6 great pedals in one. Also, It is a perfect match for a Fender Custom Vibrolux. It's $220 but absolutely worth every penny, and then some. And no wait if you buy direct from Throbak.

The PreGain knob is great for adjusting between 'buckers and singles.

KOT new is $239. I ordered mine May, 2006, got it in January of this year. I really, really like the bd-2, and I'm not even sure if the one I played was modded or not.
