OK, fair enough, there ain't no best but just for laffs, what in your opinion is the best ever overdrive boost/OD/distortion pedal in the history of these here gear pages?

My nod goes to the Alf Hermida Zendrive

The Vertex Wha was pretty awesome.

 

[Sean Mac]

Proco Rat

Barber LTD SR. Been on the board since 2014 and never been off. Not going anywhere either. Cant say that for any other pedal.

I've always adored the Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop

Any variation of the ProCo Rat. Fat Rat is my favorite, but they're all good.

The BEST pedal per TGP Forumites was the

Freekish Blues
Alpha Drive!

And the Vertex Wah, which I said sounded like a BBE and was crucified by saying so.

The educated ears of TGP said that even those who played a Dumble could not find any differences between the Alpha Drive and the amp. YES, YOU GUYS SAID IT!!!!

Now, my picks:

Tim, Landgraff Mo'd (I have heard 3, 2 I loved 1 I liked) Centura, EHX DMM, Cornish SS3 and P2 at right temperatures and with the right amp, Castledine Wah, Diamond compressor, my beloved Script phase 90 (yes bought it and sold a Halo phase, lol, Mooer Flanger.
