What amp ? Some od's have better reps with UK vs USA style amps for example.
Any other requirements?
You want a Lovepedal OD11, hey look, there's one for sale (link in my sig) ;-)
Seriously though they are very good, I'm only selling it as I've recently got a Timmy back on my board
Or a Zoom Power Drive, if you can find one.
digitech bad monkey
mooer blues crab
joyo sweet baby
danelectro transparent overdrive
there are probably more than that, that's just off the top of my head and what i've tried.
bad monkey - best for boosting a dirty amp.
boss sd2- the crunch setting would, i think, be what you want.

Fwiw I have an ht60 which I use clean and get my od from a visual sound jeckyl and hyde. I used to use an old Marshall guvnor which was also very good too
I borrowed it thinking it would be awesome. It's not.
I'd suggest looking at the new EHX Hot Tubes Nano. I got one the other week and it's as TS as a potato. The only thing it reminds me of is a Distortion+ but with more "girth" and maybe a little fuzzier. Plus it's pretty cheap. Other than that I'd say find a Boss OD-2, mode 1 is TS-ish but without the honky mids and mode 2 sounds far more ragged and "amp like" I guess.

the Digital 6-knob Joyos I tried sounded a bit ropey (the modelling ones like the AC Tone) - if run one into a nice amp, it loses the amp's tone
BUT the analogue smaller Joyo pedals I tried and kept were excellent, For your purpose, the best for me were:
Sweet baby (honeydrive clone)
deluxe crunch (nice marshally tone)
US Dream (Suhr Riot)

they have other clones. The compressor is very good too.
these sound just as good as my boutique pedals, but probably not as cool to display on your pedalboard, unless a budget vibe is intended

edited to be accurate after fellow citizens pointed out my faulty recollection
I love the joyo pedals and, fingers crossed, will be acquiring one in a trade soon... The vintage phaser the switches and jacks are probably lower quality, but they can be replaced.

the ones with 6 knobs are modelling fx, with digital chips in them. They are supposed to be Tech 21 clones. Although the ones I tried did add the tone of the target amps, on a nice amp they made the final sound less pleasant, rather than just adding character
the smaller analogue pedals sound much better, with all the amps I tried them with
I think they are reasonably well constructed, especially for the money

Still sound the balls didn't like the ac tone as much as the American one though.
