It's a fairly old Peavey FX stomp box that I don't use any of the FX on, but which provides a transistor gain section meant to create tube-like distortion for guitars.
Behind my 303 it created the most ripping acid lines ever.
Nowadays I use it behind my devices without distortion (SQ80 and TX81Z)
If you're lacking "warmth" then all you need is something with an adjustable analog gain circuit.
This can be something as simple and cheap as a Sansamp: http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/classic.html
Or an optical compressor: http://www.joemeek.com/threeq3.html
Or as sophisticated as a Sherman: http://www.sherman.be/
"warmth" = even-harmonic distortion, and I'm guessing you already have a few things laying around that are capable of doing it in pleasing ways-

"dirty" "warm" blah blah- this is sounding audiophilic-
That said I agree with James' statement, but a solution is much nearer and cheaper: analog VCAs on your way out from the master mix, be they tube or transistor.My own choice is a Peavey solid-state unit made for guitars :)-SS--
