Looking For a New OD - Suggestions?

As a poor college student about to get a job as a valet over the summer, I want to look for a new overdrive pedal to add to my board. Earlier this year, I had my only OD and EQ pedals stolen (RIP) and I'm looking to replace them. The OD was an EQD Talons which I loved and am considering re-buying, and the EQ was an EQD Tone Job which I will definitely be re-buying (I loved that thing).
Anyways, I was wondering what overdrives you guys might suggest. I really want an OD that can work in just about any musical context because I like to dabble in a lot of different genres (this is one of the reasons I loved my Talons). I play a Reverend Six Gun into a Vox VT40+ (I'm saving up for a real tube amp as soon as possible). I also have a EQD Hoof Reaper, so my fuzzy needs are covered pretty well. (Can you tell I like EarthQuaker Devices?)
I appreciate any suggestions that you might have!

I know the Tone Job can be incredibly powerful before or after other dirt, so maybe look for something similar to the Talons in terms of dirt with a simpler EQ section if budget is an issue? I'm really enjoying stacking dirt pedals with less knobs at the moment.

What sounds are you after? Light or heavy drive? Hifi or lofi?

does the dead hipster take a boss adapter or do you have to use batteries?

It's really not that complicated of a circuit and my first response stands...
I just wanted to say Dead and Hipster in the same sentence cause I know how much we both love it...

I feel positively about this description of a presence knob
