Which of these barbers?

[Zalu]

I have the chance to pick up either a Direct Drive SS or a Custom cool for a decent price. Would either of them get me close to a TS-style sound (obviously with more versatility.)?

Whatever I get will be paired with a Wampler Ecstacy and ran through a vox ac15 primarily.
Thanks!

I vote DD. Should also sound killer thru an Ecstasy.

Barber does not make a TS style pedal IMO.

The Custom Cool is much lower gain than a tubescreamer. It can get into that neighborhood at it's most extreme settings, but it is overall a much lighter pedal. The Super Sport has much more gain, at least as much as a tubescreamer if not more. The two are about the same in terms of output volume. Both are extremely tweakable. So it depends what you are looking for.
