Classic !!My fave Fractal rig this month is a Boss OD-1 into a JCM800 2204 (Brit800) , funnily that was my rig whan I was around 16!
Just a killer combo.

If that's true, I just cooked up a hot FartFlub pie with a side of Ass.

I've been experimenting a bit with the drives in the amp block recently, and just for kicks I assigned an expression pedal to the boost level on a neutral boost. So far I'm liking the results, it's similar to rolling the volume up and down on the guitar, only with a much wider range.

Model the Kustom Double Kross, with all of the switches. The page for real controls and ideal controls would be pretty much the same. Lol

I look at pedal dirt and amp dirt as two totally different things. Some songs sound better with amp drive, some sound better with pedal drive, and others sound best with a combination of the two.
Usually I go for pedal overdrive when I want a tighter, more focused overdrive with more compression. And I go for amp overdrive when I want more open, less compressed, more dynamic/responsive sounds.
A Nobles would be great, as would a BD-2. Im also not entirely thrilled with the TubeScreamer model. I feel like it could be done better

Would you not prefer the Norland Electronics ODR-C over the Nobels?

I went on a tweaking trip tonight, trying about 3/4 of the amps in the Axe, and I tried boosting 3 ways: w/ a drive (I tried just a few; it was already very time-consuming), the amp boost, and the built-in boost on my Majesty. Whew!

A lot of these ODR-1 variants and improvements are basically 90% the same components, with things like bass cut added. Nothing you couldn't do with the EQ controls offered in the Fractal Drive block.
That said, there's already plenty of variants of the Tube Screamer so it might as well have variants of the ODR-1 too as adding them would be most likely pretty easy.
I rarely bother with the Fractal drive block because the amp block is so flexible. If I want to turn the same amp into a "lead" version of it, then I can just copy it to another channel and adjust the amp instead. Or use the input/output EQ or the built in input boost options.

Maybe ask the roughly three generations of guitarists that use both to create tones that you can’t get from either alone.

Maybe so? To be honest I’ve never used an ODR-C. I wouldn’t be opposed to it

Wow. I have only seen that amp mentioned a few times over the years.
Man, I wanted one so bad----mostly because of James Brown having
played such an huge role in the design of it.

Well, I can't tell if you are cork sniffing, or just been hiding under a rock for the last ten years. Report immediately Mr. Wampler for some remedial Country training!
