I’m looking for a way `(pedal or pedals)  to get get two ditact drive tones. First a touch of gritty edge not woofy raspy bottom end. Second full on Lemmy. I use an Ashdown  Little Bastard 550 which can e cozied Ito breakup but I’d rather keep that clean ish

 

Ny ideas 

Rodenbuerg LDP

Darkglass something or the Joyo clone

Yes, was going to pipe up and mention the Joyo Monomyth - it has two switches on it for a treble boost and a gain boost, so you have three possibilities to quickly go beyond the base level of drive you have set using the pot.

 

I use mine as my one stop OD/EQ/DI shop, it's good at all these things.

The Tech 21 Steve Harris does this, I have one and it’s great.

 

It has two channels with shared EQ, but seperate volume and gain controls and is capable of the sounds you describe above

I think @SteveXFR mentioned on another post somewhere about using the Two Notes Revolt pedal for this?

 

The Revolt is ideal for what's being described here.

Three channels.

Clean is an Ampeg SVT model which can add a nice warmth with a bit of drive

Dirt is a Marshall Super Bass model so gets you to that Lemmy tone depending on what bass you're using. 

Drive is a generic modern high gain model which is absolutely filthy but usable. 

Its valve driven so sounds really good. Its not cheap but I wouldn't be without it. Its all I use now for drive.

I'd second both the Harris pre and hot wax suggestions.

I know you're after a single pedal solution, but I used to get a cracking gritty tone and Superbassy/ Marshall/  Lemmy tone with the combination of the EHX bass soul food or Joyo Orange Juice, and EHX Glove.

There are plenty of good options on here, but I’d suggest going for two pedals if your budget allows. Stacking overdrives has many benefits, but also gives you three options - pedal A, pedal B, pedals A+B. Having one at a low gain and another at a higher gain gives you lots of options.

 

You also get a few other dynamic options, if you want to be creative, by having other pedals between them. For example, if you put a chorus between the two drive pedals, as well as having your three drive sounds, you also now have drive into chorus and chorus into drive.

 

Most importantly though, there are many incredible sounding drive pedals that don’t have two stages of gain, meaning it’s way easier to find two great tones and stack them than it is to find one pedal that has two drive tones you really love.
