To pick a booster/saturator….

[iSteen]

I really don't use overdrive in my tone anymore, but are leaning towards something with a touch of saturation.

Been looking at the Xotic RC+EP boosters, and the TC Spark. Any experiences with those?
As another option there is the JPTR Jive (unforetunately the Micro Jive didn't make it long, and is already discontinued)

At the moment I am just goofing around with the two boosters in my Zoom B3n.

Any comments?

Saturn VI is a great non-clipping saturator

The River runs deep and wide......
My favorite non-dirt saturation is the Durham Sex Drive
or nice inexpensive alternatives
Mosky Xp
EHX Hot Tubes
or for adding a bit of amp colours and tonal shaping the Joyo Sound pedals are excellent I am particularly fond of the California Sound Boogie
Of course if you want some real tube saturation you can always check out the designs of Sushi Box or others

The Jive is really great for that rich beefed up tone. I'm happy to have the full Jive features, but do always keep my eye out for a Micro as well - it's that good. Recommended, for sure.

I had my eye on the Micro Jive too - but was discontinued after making 100 of them

+1 on the Jive, awesome pedal!

The JPTR Jive is really great, nice bit of hair.
some others:

4 on the floor offers 4 nice flavors of OD. Could be your thing at low GAIN settings?(Gain knob <<<50%, blending in clean to your liking).
