Jackson Electronics Silvertone, super versatile from clean boost to full-on nasty. Has that perfect Elmore James tone from my Zum.

I've got an earth drive for classic dirt and a Earthquaker Devices Hoof fuzz with a spatial delivery envelop filter before it for quacky, vocal sounding leads. Any dirt works much better run before the volume pedal, if possible imo.

Analogman King of Tone. I got on the list while I was on the road a while ago and by the time I got it I had forgotten about it. It is actually awesome! After years of swapping out overdrives this one stayed. It’s been on my board for about 4 years and I’m happy every time I use it.

The other overdrive that stayed is the earthdrive . I use it for more light and subtle duties. I did switch over to the mini version recently. Same great taste without the calories!

There are tons of great overdrives out there. Guitar players swap them like kids with baseball cards. Don’t dive to deeply into the blogs. Those guys are nuts.

Zendrive, gets me in the ballpark of the David Lindley on "Running on Empty" Dumble tone which imo is the holy grail of overdriven steel tone.
