Hello all.
I'm looking for a tight, crunchy/chuggy, meaty distortion. I've got a Rat so have that slightly loose, fuzzy distortion sound covered, and also have a Boss Fuzz and Bad Monkey for my other dirt, but I'm looking for something else that has more of a crunchy tight sound.
I've had a look and a Suhr Riot (actually looking at Joyo US Dream as don't want to spend too much) and that seems to match what I'm looking for close enough. Any other recommendations, or just stick with what I've got and consider compressing/playing with EQ settings? I haven't considered compressors as I don't really like them.
Thanks!

This has been an absolutely endless hunt for me. I think I've got there with high gain, I use a Piod What You Want 2, but they're hard to come by and have more of a Mesa sound to them, which you may not like.
So it's probably easier to suggest Marshall sounding pedals as they're easier to come by. The Marvel Drive gets quite tight at high settings. But the tightest and heaviest I've played is the Friedman BE-OD, but again, can be quite scooped.
Try the Mooer version of the Riot, it's nice and cheap. The Riot is a great pedal, wasn't quite the tone I was after but I had it for a while and it was nice.
There's also the more expensive Amptweaker pedals.

Thanks
There's also the new line of Mooer preamps that could help, too.

I'm not a sophisticated creature and new to separate effects units, so is there an option for single output whilst getting both amp and drive settings? It would be getting dropped into a pedalboard so 2 outputs is a bit tricky for me.
I think one of the members here has/had a discount code for AMT's UK online store in their signature. I think it is one of the Johns, possibly @John_A ?
There you go, see my sig. Not sure if it's still valid. I also have a mint R1 that isn't getting any use if you are interested drop me a PM.
I said maybe.....
