If you are looking for the “Perfect” overdrive, this is one you should check out before making a purchase.

If you are looking for an awesome floor-based real tube guitar compressor, the Electro Harmonix Black Finger is highly recommended. It does come at a price, but may well be worth it.

This amazing Fuzz from Fulltone offers an octave-up that is one of the best.
