My 212 hotrod deville's drive channels just aren't cutting it. I have a POD 2.0 but really am not a big fan of that thing through my amp, it's good for recording etc but not my amp (i have trouble doing the pods EQ then the amp's EQ then the reverb etc.). Anyway I'm really looking for a great under-rated pedal that won't compress through lots of distortion. I have to say that vintage strat single coils aren't the best for fast/distorted playing, and my uncle's PRS sounded way better just because the humbucking tone etc. but it was the way the amp throws distortion that bothers me. Please suggest some great pedals.
