Yes, but choose a pedal with a usable tone/EQ section. With transistor or modelling amps, start with lower gain and set the level so the pedal does not make the top end harsh.

Boss SD-1W Guitar Effect

A quieter version with premium components of the cult overdrive pedal, delivering instant early Zakk Wylde tones. The custom switch is a cool addition, though I still prefer the classic mode.
