I'm going round in circles here, I have no dirt pedals after a purge and need replacements.
I'm in a house band for a Jam night so need versatility.
I dep for a couple of bands where I need classic rock tones, lizzy, pearl jam, acdc, ratm, metallice etc.
I've also got a new band project playing dirty jangly post punk ish type stuff, ruts, blonde, Undertones, jags, police.
I play a les paul with Bareknuckle mules.
Here's the catch, for the jam night I use a peavey bandit 80's era solo 65. My main amp for all other projects is a Rivera Chubster.
I have a budget of £200.
I'm happy with the dirt channels on my chubster but something to brighten it up a bit would be nice.
I'd like something to add a bit of life to the clean channel when playing clean on the bandit, it's serviceable but uninspiring.
I get all my dirt from pedals into the clean channel on the bandit.
What I'd maybe like is three pedals, a boost, a mid gain, a heavy gain.
Things I've been looking at:
Tc spark boost
Green rhino
Ocd
Dls
Crunchbox/super
Riot
J rocket animal.

There are too many options out there and it's driving me mad, I don't have the option to go try them all.
HELP!

If you're looking for an alternative to a dirty amp channel, then any of the Marshall dirts would be good place to start. The Mk1 Guvnor would be my first choice, with a Drivemaster, Shredmaster or Mk2 Guvnor coming in a close second place. Another great alternative is the Hardwire CM-2 Tube OD, with the Hardwire Tube Distortion as a very capable higher gain unit.
Ringleader of the Cambridge cartel, pedal champ and king of the dirt boxes (down to 21)
TS/SD1, SL Drive, Micro Amp.
Bad Monkey, Suhr Riot, Spark.
Any of those or any combination of the three would be great into pretty much any amp.

Football is rubbish.
The Snouse also features a JEFT boost which you could use independantly; and the LGW clone can be used as a boost also...

Thorpy Warthog - can do it all!
or a peacekeeper - all the eq flexabity can be used to push your dirty channel and be a really nice chimey low gain on your cleans
