I know it's not an overdrive, but something like the Barb E.Q. (now discontinued[?] but maybe still around somewhere) would be great to add in front of a 5E3 to help adjust the levels, since the amp's 1 tone knob is a bit limiting. Just this weekend I tried out a (non-Barber, sorry!) "real clean" boost pedal with active bass & treble knobs and really appreciated the ease of controlling tone into such a simple amp.
Aside from that, I think the Gain Changer "flat+fat" setting (left-hand toggle switch set all the way left) on low gain (right-hand toggle switch set to the right) would sound alive & huge with a tweed amp.
