Subtle overdrive/warmth pedal

I fancy something that just gives a hint of breakup, I don't want tons of overdrive, just warm subtle fuzz that is more obvious the harder you play.

It must be a normal pedal size (i.e. roughly equivalent to a Boss) and it must be 9V centre negative so I can run it off my One Spot.

Suggestions?

DHA VT pedals - they do exactly as required. You can get the standard overdrive pedal, or go a bit further and get a full EQ/DI pedal which still has drive on it. They do a great job of "furring" the sound of a clean amp.

My vote would also be for the BB Preamp - very powerful 2 band eq too.

I use this effect-model on my Zoom B3 to give a slight drive and it is very nice.

I'd say DHA VT1. Might be slightly bigger footprint than you're after but it's WELL worth the size. They're the canine's testicles!

I think they a use 500mA supply, but the 1spot delivers 1700mA, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Newer ones use centre negative, but the older ones use centre positive, this one should see you right...

I havn't checked the link, but given it's a valve pedal i would assume it still uses an AC power supply, rather than DC? If so, you couldn't power this from a One Spot.

EDIT - Checked the link, turns out it does accept DC power which is a first for me, however it prefers 12v to 9v, so would still recommend a separate isolated 12v power supply to power such a pedal.
