Overdrive/Distortion for stacking (Shiva content)?

[lpaul626]

Curious what Shiva owners (past & present) have paired with their Shivas for different flavors/colors of OD. I use my Shiva (2009 EL34 head) in a cover band rig and I primarily play through just the OD channel. I occasionally kick in a BB Preamp with the gain channel for a little "more." It'd be great to have another "color" or two. Any recommendations?

Is there a box that will add a little more "sag" as well?

No one??

OCD, V4, volume all the way up tone at 10:00 gain to taste.

Interesting . . . I actually have an OCD and always thought it sounded close to the BB Preamp stacked with the OD channel. I guess I need to work with the settings more.

I use a bb pre amp and a Radial Plexitube set with two different EQs so when I play in my cover band I can use the amp and the BB for the power pop stuff, clean/bb for the oldies/blues and the plexitube on the clean channel for the hard rock stuff.
