Eh, maybe the clean bleed just sounds plonky to me.

With the Klones that I have tried, the higher the gain knob goes up, so does the honk. The extra EQ options that the Tumnus Deluxe offers makes them much more usable to me even though the gain knob never gets above 9:00.

Yeah I never set the Gain past 9 o'clock on a Klone. Usually lower than that. Then I set the Volume to be just above unity gain.
That gives me a jangly breakup sound with a clean amp and just the right amount of gain boost with the Marshalls

Maybe something like a BD-2 or derivative thereof? My Keely Super Phat Mod doesn’t have much of a mid hump and brings some nice sparkles on the top end.

I actually tried out a BD-2 and an SD-1 yesterday as well.

They both sound perfectly usable and fine. Makes me confident I could make an all Boss pedalboard.

That said, playing single lead notes on the BD-2 didn't sound quite right. Still good though.

The SD-1 was a big surprise. If it had like 10% more bass, it would perfect. It didn't have anything strange going on in the mids. It sounded awesome. This could DEFINTELY work, should I get the itch for a Boss only board. Great tone.

I agree with you on the SD-1 and its low end. It’s great for pushing a Marshall but on its own it’s a little too anemic.

For some reason, I've never played a J rocket. No reason, I just haven't been attracted to them.

Jangles =

Playing chords, it sounds like all of the notes and your pickups. I guess "amplike" is a good approximation of what I'm talking about.

Certain OD's sound more like an effect made to cut and play lead. Like a Tubescreamer.

The blue note is rad. I always forget about it but every time I remember I want another one. Sounded like a dream through my old bandmaster

I've heard claim that its a TS circuit though, I didn't really think it sounded like one at all so don't know how true that is or not.

Maybe something like a zendrive?
