How much different will a Overdrive Pedal be (like a Tubescreamer) vs a DOD or BOSS Heavy Metal pedal. Will dialing down the distortion and cranking the level and or presence on a Heavy Metal pedal give me a overdrive sound.

I have two "Metal" pedals to use with my Champ 600, but no Overdrive pedal is it worth the cost of a new tubescreamer or bad monkey?

Thanks for any help

Well, they are separate effects, so you're not realllly gonna get the same sound - very rarely do we hear distortion used for blues rock etc, mostly OD. I'd go for the Bad Monkey, it's not that expensive! If not an SD-1 or maybe a BD-2. But in my opinion nothing matches a TS-808 Keeley Mod. Absolutely beautiful.
