What overdrive/distortion pedal for mounted pickup archtop?

[starjag]

Here's the setup...
mounted pickup (P90 neck) archtop -> overdrive/distortion pedal -> clean amp
I am looking for recommendations in terms of a pedal that will add some rocking dirt (not mud) to this setup. Thanks!

i like my barber ltd for just a touch of grit. put the gain knob about 9 o'clock.

Try Fulltone 2 mosfet
In comp cut mode that will give give you a bit more gain to drive the amp and you can add rocking dirt with the overdrive pot.
In Vintage you get other options

I use a Klon, Box of Rock, and Zendrive. All sound excellent with a P-90 Guild X-550 through a Tweed amp.

Don't be put off by the name as its not a one trick pony but just demo a electro harmonix metal muff, honestly with the gain set at its lowest its a supsisingly sweet natural sounding pedal plus the added bonus of the top boost lets you either increase the volume slightly or depending how you set it add some extra treble. I know its not a cool boutique (sp?) pedal like all the other guys here have mentioned but it is a great pedal. Just ignore all the reviews from metal guys claim its a piece of sh*t as they probalby just turned everything up to max anyway.
