Dirt pedals that sound good with a lonestar amp

Someone posted this question yesterday and I came back today to answer but the post is gone. So anyways, here goes....I have the original 2x12 50/100 version and it is very pedal freindly. I have used MXR, Boss, including Keeley mods, Barber, OCD, and a few others I can't remember. Because of the dark nature of the amp, it hides the trebly highs that some pedals put out. Thus making it pedal freindly. I'm currently using a couple of Barbers and a Kingsley Minstrel. Barbers are an affordable personal favorite of mine on this amp. Which Barbers? Any will do! They're all nice pedals.
I wasn't a big fan of the 2nd ch so I did the Reeder mods #1 & #2. Now the 2nd ch sounds as good any good pedal. Probably better but possesses a bit of compression from using the drive stage so I keep the pedals. It's all good and usable for different situations.
Oh, another thing, using a dirt pedal on the 2nd ch sounds best when using a transparent pedal with a flat freq response. Something like a Timmy or a Barber LTDsr works the best.
