I just got an Earthquake Devices "Plumes" pedal. Its supposed to be a Tube Screamer, with a little 3 way switch to choose between different clipping modes, or no clipping for just a clean boost.
To my ear, only one of the modes sounds much like a TS. I think it works better than a TS as a stand alone pedal, but I wanted it for boosting a loose classic OD sound to get a tighter more modern tone when I want it. One of the modes adds more compression, some highs end, and alot more note clarity, and works beautifully for this.
