most applicable clean od

any suggestion? 
for blues, metal and clean.

"Clean OD", "jumbo shrimp", "tight slacks", "adolescent self-restraint"....what do these terms all share in common?

You'll forgive (and hopefully understand) the slight puzzlement some of us have in response to your post.  Did you mean a clean booster?  Or a mild overdrive?  Clarify, and we'll be a lot more helpful.

To add the requirements for Blues, Metal, and clean work are traditionally drastically different from each other so one effect that does all those types is not very likely.

  "clean" is generally defined as very low to no distortion, 'unadulterated but maybe with volume boost' is a common pretext-usage of the word.
 "OD" is short for 'overdrive' which is quite vague and imprecise, but generally alludes to mild distortion or distortion.
 "Most applicable' ... depends on the speaker and rig and guitar etc. or do you mean the OD which is most versatile as in 'works well in various applications'...which would probably be a TS or derivative circuit..partly because there happen to be so many of them around.

clean to hard booster. ( the range). like clean booster like ts and aggresive booster like zw-44.

Neither the TS or ZW are boosters. They are distortion/OD effects.

It seems like you're looking for a good general do it all type of overdrive but one pedal is unlikely to blow up your skirt for all of your musical tastes.  How about telling us what type you music you like to play and we'll go from there.

For me, I'm loving my slightly modded one knob Cream Pie for  60's rock and blues.  A modded SD-1 with the magical germanium diode for slightly heavier rock and use an assortment of Fuzzrite/Bosstone/Fuzzface circuits to get my rebel tones. 

So, what it gonna be ?
