Best boost for Deliverance?

I don't usually use drive or boost with the Deliverance. It doesn't need it.
Any of them work fine.
you know what Chugg says about using a boost ...

Thanks all for the suggestions. So no love for a Rat, Turbo Rat, etc into Deliverance?

Also, what would be my best bet for a single pedal that can switch between OD808 and SD-1 circuits and sounds faithful to the originals? Ideally also with top mounted jacks. There's the EQD Plumes and Wampler Triumph that seem like they get in the ballpark but maybe not quite there. I've had the Lichtlaerm King In Yellow in the past but I don't love overdrives that are too tweakable and lead to option paralysis. Fortin Fourteen seems like a pretty good option but very pricey for my simple needs

I could build you a dual drive with the 808 on one side and the SD-1 on the other .......... that's only if you want exactly what your asking for though
 
What's your favorite boost pedal to get a VHT/Fryette Deliverance into thrash/death metal territory? SD-1, OD808, Rat, something else?

In my case it'll be for the Synergy module into a PS-2A, but I figure boosts that work well with the real amp will likely work well with the Synergy into Fryette power amp
I have the Synergy Deliverance module and the best boost for it, imho, is an OCD style pedal; I use the Warm Audio ODD Box.

Interesting, I have the Ultra Lead Synergy module, and I generally prefer something that cuts bass to clear up the low end mud. So something like a SD-1, or Precision Drive or similar.

The Deliverance is pretty tight as-is; it doesn't need too much low-end cut. The ODD in the UK mode (up) works very well with the Deliverance (does so too with the Mesa Badlander).
 
Keeley SD-1 easily

Set amp to less mode, point both gain knobs at about 3 o'clock and boost with keeley SD-1 (LED clipping mode, gain off, level maxed)


Fuckin glorious; was my live tone for over a decade
 
That is the thing about the Deliverance. No matter what settings you use the bass is always fairly tight with virtually all rigs. The only reason to cut bass is to get a faster attack.
 
I've stuck with my Maxon od808 for about 20 years now. Tried a bunch of other boosts/OD's but I keep going back to that one. It seems to have the perfect hi and low end cut to it. Not too much low end cut like an sd-1 has.
 
I use a Grifffin Analog 808 Screamer with my Synergy Ultra Lead > VHT 2/90/2. Compared to a Maxon OD808 it does the TS clean boost thing just as well but adds less character/colorization so it retains more of the Ultra Lead’s core tone. I sold my Maxon and my TS9 after getting the Griffin.
 
Friedman Buxom Boost will hit it with a "tighter that Monkey Mans fist wrapped around the very first dollar he ever made"
