Hi everyone who's reading: I'm looking for an overdrive pedal that can go into distortion as well when pushed to high gain (or vice versa). I'm using a TS9 clone now and while I love the sound it provides, it cannot go into full distortion. Is there something that woulf help my needs? Plus point if it's a "budget" one

Can you use amp overdrive and boost with the TS? My alternatives to that are Blackstar HT dual and Strymon Sunset which both have a lower drive side and a heavier side.

Since I'm allergic to tube screamers, I actually usually use a more neutral drive or a treble booster (which is a bass cut or underdrive in disguise) along with amp distortion.

I don't have a good actual anger answer, though. Distortion pedals are pretty varied and personal taste thing. You might just need to try some. I'm tempted by Rat and Riot clones but don't have either apart from modelling patches.
