Favorite Two Channel Dirt Pedals

Let's hear about some of your favorite two channel dirt pedals...especially those that allow you to stack the channels, such as the Xotic BB+ or AC+.

Blackstone MOSFET OD! No stacking of the two channels, however.

KoT v4 on so many levels.Flexible tone control, superb pick dynamics, can set either side to clean boost,OD, or distortion and then stack the two sides,good amount of output past unity, near perfect for my needs.

Barber Dual Discrete with the LTD-SR/DDSS combination. Two great pedals that stack for a third tonal amalgam. All very musical.

I've had VS J&H (red), Addrock NSOY, Barber Burn Unit, and SRB808+ 2in1. The SRB808 is great - 2 pedals in one, 3 way toggle for crunch, boost, and TS, bass boost on both channels plus stackable. However, with my rig, nothing has been able to bump off the Burn Unit (even though the channels can't be stacked)....amazing tone.

ProAnalog Dual Drive is my favorite. Other great ones are the Blackstone, KOT or Tim pedals.

I really like my Carl Martin AC-Tone but then again, you have to want that honky mid-range kind of tone, which I do.

Tough to choose - either the Menatone KK (later 2 stomp version), or the Kingsley Jester.

EDIT: On second thought, you can't really stack the 2 channels of the KK (looking at the krash/wreck as the channels, since the fast/grad switch acts more like a boost). Same could be said for the Jester, as it's an OD and a Boost - can't really be considered a 2 channel OD.

Best pedal I've owned that meets the OP's requirement would probably be the Jetter GS3.

Always liked my Toadworks Death Rattle while I owned it.
Come to think of it, I rarely see any mention of Toadworks anywhere...
Anyway, I liked it.

I have & love the BBplus and Foxrox ZIM. They serve different purposes, to me, however...

The BB is better as a straight "drive" pedal into a single-channel amp. Side A is a great BOOST, while Side B is a great DISTORTION. And I mean distortion, not overdrive - I don't find it stacks all too well. A does, because it is more transparent, but B is better stand-alone.

The ZIM is simply 2 TS-ish-style pedals in one box. All the cards I've tried are better at boosting amps than the Xotic BB-series. YMMV, though.
