Hi all
Long time since I have been here so nice to be back.
I'm part of a band playing in Drop C playing some modern Metal/ Heavy Rock and my Blackstar HT 20 is sounding muddy at high volumes in practice.
So I'm thinking of switching so something like a Orange Pedal Baby for a loud clean sound and investing in Decent Distortion/ OD pedals instead of using distortion from an Amp.
However pedals have move on significantly since the last time I bought a distortion pedal , so I wondered if there was a Distortion Modelling pedal I could get to fit on my board which would cover Metal/ Heavy rock or if there's a good Distortion/OD pedal that would cover this.
Looking to play deftones , SOAD, Blackstone cherry, Dream State , Yonaka .
Looking to spend up to £200.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Good news is that any of the modellers/pedals out there will give you an excellent heavy distorted sound. New, the boss gt1 will be great. If you don’t mind slightly older tech, the pod hd500x will be great, too.

It's got quite a few models of various distortion boxes, but the one I think you will be interested in is the DS-1X model (X Dist).
The interesting thing about this is that it uses the Boss MDP multiband technology which means it stays really tight down to really insane drop tunings.
Check this video he starts in D and then goes to a C guitar using the standalone pedal but it's the same algorithm in the OD-200:
I have a Boss GT-1000 and I use this model all the time for metal.
Thanks again guys. I remember why I used to use the forum all the time :-)
