Type 'tube screamer overrated' in the search...(I think the full name is 'who else thinks tube screamers are overrated?')  Scroll down page 2 and you'll find a l-o-n-g list of TS clones.

I thought most commercial circuits that are close relatives were listed at the Guitar Effects Database:

Most Wha pedals.

Depends how far you take "practically a clone", a lot of pedals that do the same thing will be very similar, because there's only so many building blocks you can use to do those things. The bare bones of many phaser, chorus, flanger and delay pedals are very similar, doesn't really make them clones though any more than an SD1 is a clone of TS808 is a clone of an SD1........

Personally I've only ever used the TS9dx and I hated it so much that I never played it in front of anyone...bought it used for an ok price and ended up selling it for a $30 profit. In 16 years of playing I've never known anyone that plays a tube screamer and can only think of once instance where I saw a band use one at a show. Even though I see them at every guitar store around here I guess us Canadians don't like em.

Cry Baby GCB95 and VOX 847.

I also seem to remember a pedal whose circuit looked very similar to a Big Muff Pi. Don't recall the name.

there were a few Electro Harmonics pedals in the 70s that were branded something else... I only know about this because I read it in my vintage gear price guide...but I've misplaced it so I can't grab it to give more info on that.
