I would do a "Search" on FT. I think this question has been done to death already, and also a lot of good info around here. Two of my favorites are the ProCo Rat pedal and the Ibanez TS9.

I'm gonna spam my Xotic AC+ again. If you're got the scratch, check one out.

Visual Sound's Jekyll & Hyde. It's one of their two-in-one pedals, combining a nice OD (using the same chip as the old Tube Screamers) that also features a switchable bass boost, and a distortion unit for extra crunch. They can be used independently or together. This gives you a nice variety of levels of intensity. Considering the range of music you're talking about, I think it'd do the trick nicely.

I'd heard a lot about these thingies here and on other forums, and ended up buying one from Stan a while back. Definitely a good value for the money. VS recently redesigned the whole line with smaller cases. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the older ones on the 'Bay for about a hundred bucks.

I like my Boss Super O/d in front of my Marshall and my Crate. What amp are you using?

Good call Teleblooz, I got mine at a pawn shop for $85 out the door. It was worth every cent. Cool

Id go with the DOD 250, preferably the early 80's grey version, otherwise the yellow is also good, or a reissue of the two.

I use a Boss S/O. It's always gotten the job done.

My current overdrive is the GT-OD, courtesy of MXR. I'm pleased with it, it gives a grainy and organic overdrive. A little temperamental in the controls, but I'd recommend it.

This one has intrigued me. Greg Koch seems to like it:

The Diabolical Gristle Tone Manipulator Overdrive
