Of course you can.
First of all, don't bother with the pedals yet.
Some quick pointers... Metal guys in the studio usually use much less gain than what you might believe, a bit less bass too. That helps achieving a tight, crisp chugga-chugga sound with palm mutes; too much bass and gain and it all turns into undefined mud.
You should start with a flat EQ (everything on 5) and gradually add some gain until it sounds hot and tight without dialing too much.
Check with some palm mutes, they'll start losing their punch and attack once you go too far with the gain.
Marshall MGs have literally assloads of gain on tap, so the gain sweetspot might be as low as 3 or 4 in the gain pot.
Then adjust the EQ until it sounds focused and tight, which is achieved like I said, usually by keeping bass in check, mids present but not overly so, and with careful use of highs; too much and it will sound tinny and ice picky, not enough and it will sound muffled. Though keep in mind that as you go louder, you need to dial less treble.
And if you want more gain for solos, throw that SD1 in front, with gain set to zero, volume set around 6 or 7, and tone to taste.
It will overload the signal and give you more sustain.
MGs can do thrash. It may not sound like a million dollars, but it will make you happy, be assured.
