+1 to the Sparkle Motion. I have the Smallsound/bigsound Mini set to low gain as well into the Sparkle Motion and thats my clean sound.
I'll add the English Muff'n. Three band EQ, Volume and Gain controls. Not to mention you can swap in and out different pre amp tubes to further adjust the character. For instance you can put a low gain tube-> higher gain tube to get cleaner signal, or if you do vice versa, high gain->low gain you can get more saturation our of the gain control. I switched from ehx tubes to jj tubes and that made the bottom end rounder, more suitable for garage rock/punk. Just all sorts of cool stuff you could do.

List Updated. I'm going to have to think of some weird taxonomy to organize these!

Well I don't know anything about this in a real sense but Harmonic Percolators are supposed to bring out even order harmonics, and a low gain perc is one of more interesting cleanish tones I've heard

This has to do with a concept called the harmonic series. When you play a note, A for instance, you're not just hearing 440Hz (called the fundamental), you're also hearing other frequencies that are multiples of that note (called harmonics). Even order harmonics are ones that are multiples of the fundamental frequency that are even numbered, for instance 880Hz (the fundamental x2) and 1760Hz (the fundamental x4), etc. Odd order harmonics are ones that odd multiples, for instance 1320Hz (the fundamental x3) and 2200Hz (the fundamental x5).
There is a lot more information about how we experience even and odd order harmonics, and why even order harmonics may sound more pleasant, but that's a whole thing.
