Hi, first time posting here, im gonna buy my first OD pedal, since i'm from Chile My options are very límited and to be honest i'm broke,
After doing some research i managed to find these pedals for cheap:
Voodoo labs Sparkle drive
Way huge Green rhino
Earthquaker devices Westwood (this one is a bit pricier)
Earthquaker devices Plumes
Digitech Bad Monkey
TC Electronics Mojo mojo

I'm trying to get a tone similar to the one on this songs:


Which one do you guys think will get me closer?
I would appreciate any kind of help. Thanks !!

Oooh! I love this band :bassist:
Out of your options I have only tried the Westwood, but it was through a very crappy amp and sounded kind of horrible (I blame the amp, though). Judging by the YouTube demos I'd say that the Plumes may get you there, and can be found for cheap. As @Lammchop93 suggested, the TC Spark Booster (the four knob version) is really cheap and sounds good. May not give you exactly THAT sound, but it's a nice low gain drive. The T-Rex Bass Juice is also really cheap in the used market and works great at low gain. It is thicker on the mids than the tone from those songs (with less spark on the top end), but if you want a cheap overdrive this is a really good one.
 
I have the Mojo Mojo and the Bad Monkey. Both are excellent value for money and work well on bass.

The Mojo Mojo is the better of the two for me as it has fuller low end and a smoother sound.

The Bad Monkey is decent - it gives a midrange bump with more “character” and cuts a little low end. It’s still usable on bass and has the characteristic Tubescreamer sound.

I’ver never tried the Sparkle Drive or Green Rhino but they seem very good from demos - from your list I would be looking at those.
