There’s so many these days though… Does he have a budget and any particular sounds in mind?
There's the Queen of Tone, which is a Klone and a Bluesbreaker style OD on one pedal - https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/230105398387008--nux-queen-of-tone-dual-stacked-overdrive-pedal
And the Ace of Tone, which is a TS and a Bluesbreaker - https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/230621406899008--nux-ace-of-tone-dual-overdrive-pedal
You can change of the order of what comes first on both units, so they look super versatile.

"Just because I don't care, doesn't mean I don't understand." - Homer Simpson
FWIW I’m currently using either a Paul Cochrane Tim (spendy and tricky to get hold of in the UK) or my latest squeeze, A Boss SD2, which is ace but I think the lead channel on that might be a bit vicious for the stated application.

The Brownie Protein is nice, a light drive (BB) and a mid gain drive (ODR-1).
The drive can be used as a cleanish boost.
It's quite expensive, you could probably recreate cheaper, but it is a good pedal.
I'm not sure about sound other than what I've already stated (funk/soul, occasionally boosted into low/mid gain grit). Budget shouldn't be an issue - he's got some very tasty guitars indeed and I don't think Swarts come cheap...
Thanks @Flanging_Fred - good vid and good shout on the Dane.

He may be better off sticking with those if he likes what he has.
The Truetone VSXO is a poor man's Browne Protein and sounds great if you like a TS & ODR-1
The aforementioned Dane isn't a bad shout either, particularly if he wants something from a great and thoroughly decent UK company.

Yep.
Nobody listens to us, Sporky.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
It has an interesting switching system which makes it useful. You can use either channel without the other engaged.
Queen of Tone looks good - I think I'll keep an eye out for a 2nd hand one.

I'd stick with two pedals as I've never found any dual pedal I was 100% happy with.
However if that's the route you want to go then Box of Rock is compact and decent or Double Rock if you want two drives.
Given the current pedal is an OD-3 which is somewhat unique I'd go for the Angry Driver as @ICBM suggests. It's got the BD-2 which is the closest to an OD-3 and an Angry Charlie which is not far off an OCD (Which IIRC is what the Freakish Blues is a clone of)
Always been massively confused by this. I had the dual and still own a Fly and the Debut 50R and both sound more British the wrong way round. About 10 or 11 o'clock or a bit before halfway is most marshally to my ears.
Anyway, apologies for the thread hijack.
Another vote for the Boss Angry Driver too. Just get a little remote switch to go with it and you're set for anything. Really regret moving mine on.
If pedalboard space saving is required then the Boss Angry Driver.
