I think you can't miss with the Greer Lightspeed or Jan Ray or other Timmy clones, they have a sort of blackface fendery toan to them that I really like.

I've always found the light break up sounds best if you get there via pick up, amp and speaker selection - pedals always seem lacking something in this zone, but maybe the Timmy is worth considering.
I have a TS-9 on my board, so many OD pedals are based on it these days so why not just go with the original!

He has a ton of great new and pre-owned drives, but he's probably the best person to ask as they've all been through his pedalboard ;-)

But... these are a few of the pre-owned that I've looked into in the past and am keen on:

I’d vote for the Keeley out of that lot, and it’s not a drive, but I keep looking at the Strymon dig Conway has for sale…

The Dig is a great bit of kit! I have only looked at Keeley stuff in the past few months, mainly because I'm a fan of Andy Timmons. Keeley makes some very nice stuff!
