Best low/mid gain overdrive to telecaster bridge into a fender amp

It was said that "If you have Fender Strat or Tele you better be sitting down when you play it through this pedal or someone will be picking you up off the floor". I totally agree. Independent overdrive and boost sides, toggle switch to choose the order. Boost is JFET type cleanish boost, high volume, amazing to fatten single coils, but maybe you need roll off the tone on guitar. The overdrive is the best low/mid gain overdrive to telecaster bridge into a fender amp. Period. Two toggle switch to choose between clipping (silicon or LED) and bass (more or less). LED is very amp-like, Silicon is the best for my purposes, think about a fatter refined tube screamer: more bass, more volume, more gain, more dynamic, better note definition, etc.
