Since most of your choices are boss,check this out:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekb3rcW2n8E&feature=related
Check the 'related videos' side for the MT-2,DS-2 and DS-1 demos for their tone

i sincerely apologise for my shamless advertising but i would say this pedal i'm selling really really fits the bill

General Guitar Gadgets Brown Sound in a Box

it rivals many other boutique pedals out there. and i can assure u, its better than the crunchbox or other marshall sounding pedals out there.

angus young himself used a marshall plexi. so this pedal can nail the tone easily.

You could also consider the Modtone Speedbox. It has quite a positive response. $75 at Standard Value (www.standardvalue.com.sg). I find that the Boss pedals I've heard so far have a rather thin sound, but that's just my experience...

yeah i know,Mike told me that the modtone pedal is not bad.when i get to standard value i will test the ds-1 and speedbox.

the 'distortion' label should be ignored & the pedal auditioned to hear what the manufacturer has to offer in terms of the overall intensity & voicing. the Son of Hyde i own is a dynamic distortion unit as it is able to recreate the subtle BOSS DS-1 type distortion as well as rival the average metal-type push.

If you are strict to your list, my vote goes to the MD-2.

Hello guys. Sorry for hijacking but i was wondering if the modded DS-1s will be a good choice for a distortion pedal.

i think this pedal can "make it" only for you.

the guys here are trying to stick as close as possible to the threadstarters choices.

its one hell of a pedal. tried it out at blackwood the other day. nice and crunchy when turned down... and pretty heavy when you turn the drive up. Take a listen to the demo thru the link on youtube. plus if u ever wanna let it go... it has a pretty nice resale value too. go check it out urself

 

[theunknown]

while you're at standard value, try out the HM200 also.
