Overdrive pedal question ( --> overtone boost needed)

[Dick Brucinson]

Hi everyone,
maybe one of you can help me.
Can someone recommend me an overdrive pedal that boosts the natural overtones of the guitar tone? I am looking for such a component to the texture of my sound, and such a pedal doesn't necessarily have to bring a lot of gain to the sound, a low gain overdrive will easily do it. I have various drives on my board, but nothing that boost the overtones to stack with my other drives yet. Something that brings the tone with an already driven amp at the edge of breakup (with Tube Screamers in front) to finally bloom and sing.
Anyone an idea?? Perhaps @matic22?
Thank you so much!!

When I read 'adding sparkle' (paraphrased) and pedal "that boosts the natural overtones" (quote) I think modulation rather than more gain. First thought is a Boss MO-2 Multi Overtone.

The problem with boosting overtones is that no overdrive pedal knows if it gets overtones or fundamentals. They are dumb circuits. And boosting high end you can do with EQ, but often really only lead to ice-picky sharp tones. I'm not sure I'm getting exactly what you are after. Is your tone too dark?

I found a good solution now, and thank you. My tone wasn't really too dark, but it was kinda lacking in brilliance and partyly in presence. I tried one thing, and that works super well: Stacking different Overdrives, so now my signal chain is: Guitar into Revv Tilt Boost feeding into Boss Super Overdrive SD-1 feeding into Boss Blues Driver BD-2 into amp. Absolutely wonderful, problem solved!
