the line between OD and distortion is not as clear cut electronically as you think

I never said it was. I'd say the difference is one of degree, not of kind -- "overdrive" is just a more subtle form of what will become "distortion" when pushed to the limit. The line between "orange" and "red" is not clear cut, it's a continuous gradient, but we still distinguish between the two for the sake of communication don't we? Forgive me, I can tell this a touchy subject for you. I should have included a trigger warning. I didn't mean to imply that they were some kind of wholly different circuits inside, but that pedals marketed as "distortion" generally aren't much use on a synth, in my experience. Maybe I'm talking crazy.

Moog ladder filter in a box
I don't use this in my guitar rig, but I have it around as a stand-alone filter. It's a little limited in that regard (it's just a single low-pass filter, and resonance is an on-off switch instead of a knob), but if you just want to plug a drum machine into it and do some filter sweeps and add some grit it's not a bad option by any means, especially for the price (and it's a classic Moog ladder filter, dammit!). Kinda wish it had stereo ins/outs, but not a huge deal.

buy another one, instant stereo

Thought about that, though it would be kind of annoying to have separate filter controls for each channel. Makes filter sweeping a bit fiddly, especially if I need one hand on the pedal and one hand on the drum machine or whatever is plugged into it. Would need three hands if I had a second pedal...

Solid Drive
This drive is my personal favorite. It's super thick and warm and the addition of a filter control is awesome. Can take a moment to figure out what you like and it can become a bit too muddy but after some fiddling around you'll be able to find whatcha like. The Expression aspect is a cool bonus, i don't use it but it is super rad.

Moog MF Drive
Very good looking pedal. Not easy to figure out your sound cause it has so many. It's a nice drive pedal with a fuzzy high end.
From subtle overdrive to fuzz
Ultra flexible dirt box. The background noise is really low for a distortion device.

tempting as are the moogerfooger chorus, flanger and delay.... go moog
