Currently using a Mesa gridslammer that I love to boost channel 3/modern mode on my MW dual rectifier, but looking for something different for my ch.2 vintage mode boost. I’ll describe what I’m after by comparing to a tubescreamer- Ideally it has some bass cut to keep the low end controlled but not as dramatic as a typical TS, a mid boost but not as nasal/pointed as a TS and is more crunchy and snarly in character than a TS, and a more open top end and less compressed. Must be able to provide its own clipping and not be a tc integrated preamp derivative.

Suggestions?
 
100 % an Origin Halcyon Gold. Sounds and feels like a hifi KLON type of OD (more upper mid emphasis vs the honkier TS mid character). FWIW I hate tube screamers

Harder to get now but maybe a Maxon St9Pro+. They are still available on ebay for a decent price. There is also The Warm Audio Fluff Drive (yeah I know a Youtuber pedal) that is basically the same pedal but with a noise gate added I think.
 
ProCo RAT is one of my favorite articulate boosts with built-in clipping.
 
I like the Lichtlaerm King in Yellow a lot, it’s what I’ve been using lately with my recto
