I just bought a Mesa Grid Slammer as a boost for my Dual Rectifier, and it works really well !
I compared 3 pedals : Maxon OD808, Mesa Grid Slammer and Mesa Flux Drive
The Mesa Flux Drive gives (for my taste) too much gain, even when the level is very low, so the amp gives some treble "fuzz" on Hi gain. But the controls on the bass and treble gives you a good way to tune the sound.
The Mesa Grid Slammer is very close from the Maxon OD808, withe the mid-boost, the sound get more sharpness and clarity, BUT on the Grid Slammer there is a better response in the bass and mid-bass that turns the sound a little bit more modern than the OD808.
So I was nicely surprised by the Grid Slammer, I went to the shop for the Maxon in fact because it looks like "standard" to boost the Dual Recto but I now get the sound I was looking for, and I have on my pedal board a cool-looking pedal :-D
