You just need to tweak your set up, IMO. The Plextortion handles the JCM tone well enough, so long as you can EQ your amp and pedal.
But if you really need that extra bite, get the transparent OD. Can be used as a further boost though I personally think it's overkill. No harm in trying though

I personally feel that you are feeding those pedals into the wrong kind of amp.

More like you just have to be patient and spend time to tweak the amp right first, then tweak the pedal according to that. The plextortion you had before is an excellent pedal that nails what you are aiming for, didn't have to sell it.
The way I go about this is, setting a clean tone that I like from the amp first, then adjust the settings on pedal. Play around with the three band eq, chances are, the eq in this will react differently from the setting of your previous pedal, so don't immediately set it to thaT and expect the same sound. Another tip is also not to put the gain all the way up immediately,turn it up slowly to your desired level of gain.

This seems like an oxymoron, have you even tried a jcm 2000? Not the clearest of tones from that amp,

uh, this is considered high gain. You gotta consider the pickups in your axe, that plays an important role as well.
I've tried had the plextortion as well as the danelectro, both can get similar tones to this. Just a matter of how patient you are in tweaking. I think that's the key to this here. Spend time with the pedals and it'll open up more boundaries

I was playing around with my Jekyll and Hide Dist with the Dan.E Drive pedal. I have my main lead tones from the J&H and when i turned on the Dan. E with almost no gain as a clean boost, which then led to the attack of the strings becoming better and clearer tone was that of which I achieved. So maybe you can try what I do?

I get that tone using my Mudhoney II boosted by an MIJ SD-1. Sounds similar to my ears.

No point getting another small amp with the same kind of specs. aim for a tube amp to get more headroom and saturation. of course, you have to fiddle around with the settings a lot to get the right tone.

1. Get a tube amp.
2. Crank it.
3. Use a clean boost to push the power tube(s) further.
4. Adjust guitar volume to taste.
IMHO, NO pedal can mimick power tube distortion. Close yes, but never exactly.
