For a Vox I'd SERIOUSLY consider a Hotcake.

Eitherway, check out Barber's stuff, maybe one of the direct drives.
The cbread DLS is also worth a shot



anyhthing mid heavy that doesnt get fizzy and works with a vox and is nice and tight
You want it smooth or rough n ready?
Timmy's a really good OD.
With a Vox though, have you through about a Rangemaster-type boost instead of OD?

There's a Barber over on HC right now for $90 (not mine / no affiliation). I've heard they're good.
Or try a Sam Ash/Astrotone type fuzz instead. Analogman's making one now, Ron Nealy's had one on the go for years, Covers a lot of the OD territory but is still a fuzz. Tommy Bolin liked it, one of my favourite low gain fuzz sounds.
