Favourite cheap drive/distortion/fuzzes?

[MichaelDean]

I've recently joined a doom band (very fun so far!) and my Joyo Ultimate Drive has died, leaving space on my pedalboard. Already on my board is a TC Electronic MojoMojo and EHX Bass Big Muff, which are working for me, but I'd like another flavour of noise making. Up to £50 new or secondhand, what do you recommend?

Behringer Super Fuzz, typically £20-£25. 2 flavours of fuzz plus clean boost, with 2-band EQ.

Behringer Bass Distortion and/or Behringer Tube Amp modeler.

I have the Behringer Bass BDI21, which is essentially a cheap SansAmp clone, and it does very nicely for the £20-odd I bought it for.

TC Electronic Spark booster or the Caline Orange Boost are my choices for 'cheap and best' drive units.

The EBS black haze is doom all the way.

Behringer GDI21, Tech 21 GT2 clone, for distortion (or alternatively Behinger HD300 Heavy Distortion, Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion clone) :

 

Behringer SF300 Super Fuzz, for fuzz.

 

Joyo Orange Juice, for overdrive.
