Looking for an overdrive

I currently use two overdrives on my board, a Dredgetone Angler and an Blackbox Effects X-Ray bass. Each has a very unique tone IMO. The angler has a low-mid bump and an upper mid bite that really works well in a band situation. The drive level goes from moderate to all-out mean buzzy, fizzy in-your-face grind. The X-Ray has a big low-end boost. The distortion effects the low-mids. The top end is rolled off. This overdrive is very touch sensitive. The drive level goes from very light to moderate with a seperate knob that controls the saturation level. The overall effect is a dark overdrive that gets a little into a light fuzz-like sound. This is a nice compliment to the Angler. I am wondering if there is a single overdrive that can do both. Maybe the Microtubes B3k?
