Interstellar Overdriver alternatives?

I'm looking for a sound like the Interstellar Overdriver at :14 in this video but I can't really shell out the $180. Is there any pedals that I can get the same sound with for cheaper?

I owned one... I like the CC/DC, Hi5, HAO Rust Booster and DE KP better...

It was a major let down. I had the Supreme version, not sure what sounds just like it. Mine sounded like shit!

Latest.
The thing about all these pedals including the IOD is your amp/guitar really makes a diff.

So very true, it's really best to try 'em out with your setup, buts that's not usually possible. Makes such a huge difference though! My friends have gotten great tones out of pedals I hated, really depends.

Get two. It was fucking rad when I had doubles... :cry:
Or one with your CC/DC in front. That's what I've got now and it's pretty rad as well.
