Just finished populating an Episode Booster, what to pair it with?

I was thinking of making a double with an episode and some sort of OD. On hand I have a 763, a Mach-1, and a guitarpcb TS. I play blues/RandB stuff in a few gigging bands. What say you for the second circuit in a double?

Or add a toggle with multiple clipping diode combos to the other two. The GPCB TS does have some good mod options.

I've heard the Mach 1 is good for stacking, it's on my excessively long list of things to try.

Mach 1 is killer for my style, and I have one that lives on my live board, but wouldnt mind having a double with a boost. Super easy and fast build too. Maybe I will dig out one of my 1590x boxes and make a triple with reverb.
 
I had a ep booster clone that paired well with a blues breaker circuit with an order switcher so you can either get a bit more volume or drive out of the BB. It will work well with any low gain OD IMO.
 
Compared to other commercial and DIY offerings, the EP Booster has a considerable amount of gain on tap.

Makes it less suitable as a true EP Preamp but definitely will work in this application.
