MXR Dist + or DOD 250? (Or derivative circuit.) Of a Fuzz Face with the volume mod can do nice work as an overdrive.

ss/bs Mini or EQD Talons.

I love love love my Talons, and can't for the life of me figure out why it hasn't caught on better - great toneshaping options, and it really opens up tonally when you run it at 18v (though it was great at 9v too).

LAL Lluna, and Fuzzrocious Ram the Manparts are my favorites, Providence Stampede DT is another great pedal for gritty overdrive tones. Figured I'd throw some things out there that are not the ILF norm.

Fuck, obviously.
Crimson Drive. I have a v1 that is more of a fuzz than an od tho. The lower gain sounds are not its strong point, but maybe they are just boring in comparison to the awesome fuzzy tones you can get. Judging from youtube videos, that might be different with the v2.
I've also got an od from Foot Fetish pedals. I asked for something like his Dirt Bunny that was like a limited edition thing and he made me something with some extra stuff on top. One of those was a diode switch that adds a ton of gain to the base sound. Pretty cool standard (non velcro) fuzz territory there.

Also dude a bunch of fuzzes are useable at od gain ranges too. Algal Bloom, Pharoah, classic circuits, on and on

It's been mensioned before: BAT Black Forest. Got rid of it cause it was TOO trebbly/raspy/fizzy/lofi for my style&taste.

And I've got an old Boss OD-1 that might qualify as well.

I've been interested in the Ram the Manparts for a while now - I should really check that one out in person...

Sorry to thread jack but where does the Moog drive sit in the overdrive/fuzz place? I've played around with the drive knob on my 104m delay and it can get really fuzzy so I'm assuming the drive is similar in ways? It interests me a lot especially pushing something or being pushed.

That is a good question.

I've got one on the way.

I'll let you know.
