Tech 21 GT2 and Fender Stage 112 if feeling solid state, Meza Boogie V Twin into a Peavey Classic 30 if feeling in a valve mood. Also happy to put the V Twin into the Fender or the GT2 into the Peavey. All combinations can go from silky smooth to phenomenal overdrive (not necessarily a nice overdrive).
The GT2 is really subtle, the V Twin I've kept hold of but TBH really worked best into something with a lot of headroom - not letting go though!

I just got a Harley Benton Vintage Overdrive (a badge-clone of the Joyo Vintage Overdrive, which itself is a clone of the original TubeScreamer) and for this price level it does really well. It goes into a Vox Pathfinder 10

Just a standard unmodded Rat. But I have the old rack mount R2DU with two Rat's in one with the foot switch. I use one for standard distortion and the other for a dirty boost.
Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed (and I mean that in an optimistic way).

Digitech Bad Monkey, pretty much a tube screamer but with a low & high EQ. That feeds into a Tech21 Oxford which is their Orange amp modeler. I use my Orange AD30 on the clean channel mostly because it has a darker sound than the lead channel.
I've also used a Russian Big Muff PI, throwing that in the mix'll make it roar. Sounds great with pinch harmonics

old foxx fuzz with the velour coating on it...great for the vintage rutherford RM1999 sound.

I was playing around at practice the other night with my Nanomuff for the bridge p/u on my 4003... I rarely use any effects for bass , but I think this is going to be part of my rig from here on out.there are a couple songs we do where a touch of grit adds a very nice dimension.

Me too the Red Llama works fine with Ricks, turn a bit fine overdrive and If you want more overdrive and fuzz turn to 7 or 8. Tom Petty knows that...
