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

What amp & amp settings do you typically use?

I'm using an Eko V50R mostly on the clean channel. It's a cheap transistor amp which tries to mimic the style of a Fender.

This is why your TS9 is not giving you the sound you want. The TS stands for Tube Screamer. You really need a tube amp paired with a TS9 to get a nice distortion sound. Tubescreamer clones will not sound good with a solid state amp.
