You have to play loud with this one... not very good at low volume.
My second choice after the Hydra would be the Catalinbread Formula no.5.

The Formula No. 5 sounds like it both adds some extra character and doesn't go very low gain. The Liquid Sunshine is definitely not a bedroom players pedal. It really likes to be loud.
If getting super hi-gain isn't a concern, the Barber LTD is very transparent and gets more than enough drive for most rock guitarists. Not a good choice if you're a noise or metal guitarists but it's a fantastic pedal (just like everything Barber makes).

Monarch.
Unbelievable on its own, wide range of eq tones and gain, and stacks with others incredibly.

Also be sure to get the truer bypass version. Aen licensed his system to them.
