Dirty, beat to hell portable reel machines are good for a cheap, small
way to get some tape compression and chaos on to drum lines, or

Vintage tube pres are randomly good, too, depending on what they were built for.

tube screamer pedals dialed in for modest colouring go with everything
and will go to crunchy 11 with some knob spinning
