Only one on my board at the moment:
The Waza version is nothing like the standard one. It's probably the best OD I have ever used, no joke, and I have had them all (Fulltones, Timmys, Wamplers, etc).
It works great both as a boost in front of an overdrive amp and as a distorion in front of a classic amp.

Nice! I'm getting back a BD-2 that I loaned out a million years ago. I'm gonna mod it and stick it on a board that I'm building for my wife, that will double as a lap steel board and triple (???
) as an acoustic board, though I doubt I'll run od with the acoustic.

Why not? The Alarm did it to devastating effect

I might. I'll have to see. I've ran my guitar into my 800 before, but just the Low input. I can't imagine the howling feedback through the monitors if I really got it dirty. A little dirt could be cool, but I got electrics for that.
Just this....

I still like my regular Blues Driver. I only use it sparingly, and I like what it sounds like
through my Orange Micro Terror, which has no f/x of its own, but plays well with pedals.
And like some of these other guys, I like to use the amp's pedal to
switch... the difference for me is that I switch to a different preset. I do this using my Vox VT-30
which has a couple of tones I really like, and enjoy being able to call up with one stomp.

I rarely use pedals except when playing at low volumes for practice. Then it will be a Boss Blues Driver or a Way Huge Green Rhino. They get about equal use.

I have an Ibanez Tube screamer (TS9/TS808) circuit built into my main amp, an Ibanez TSA5.
I can switch it on and off at will with an a/b pedal.
If I want to get really raucous and dirty, I will step on my (Tobacco Worm/Walks Backwards) modded Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal. (Anyone from "The Other Place" remember that???

So, is the Dewar's before the Chivas in the signal chain?

It depends on what kind of dirt we are talking. My main boost pedal, for adding that little extra dirt to solos, is this one, a Crowther Hotcake:
For some fuzzy goodness I mainly use this Analogman Sunface with NKT275s. It is relatively low gain, which suits me well.

Can you define overdrive amp and classic amp?

I only use 2 dirt pedals and I even posted pictures.
I guess we should all say what we like about our particular
pedals and maybe tell backstories if there are any.
I'll be back as soon as I deal with real life for a bit.

I got some as I remember, but they're in a box somewhere I think. Been put up for a while and I don't even remember what I got. 
So I guess I'm cranking with my app's drive channel. Works for me.

A little bit.
