What overdrive pedal

Yup. I concur w Edwards' idea--you'll more likely get a unique sound by combining pedals whereas using a BDDI or whatever, gearheads (TB'rs) will quickly figure out what you're using. Maybe that's why it's hard to nail down his sound but clearly his bass tone is drowning in effects esp. in Clubfoot. I think he uses a compressor too but it could be done by the studio.
