I really do rate the Greer Organic OD for the sounds you’re describing.
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 remember when if you had a Tubescreamer you were winning. It doesn't seem to rate a mention these days, but lordy, put one in front of a Marshall and you have drive.
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!

At the risk of tooting my own horn the Third Eye we do at Monarch was designed for just what you just described... But the last one in stock just left for Texas.
Ahem...

Also, have a look through my pre-owned pedals.

Are you going to buy that?
If not, I’m going too…
Not for me. Go ahead.

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!
