i remember reading an old tony banks interview... i think he used a rat distortion... so i guess you might wanna check some solid state dist boxes... '

i think tube based dist or tube screamer for example is a bit too dark for that app, but your mileage can and will vary... big muff is great for bass sounds...

amp distortion is always helpful.... miking it jan hammer style...

some bass distortion pedals can be very good too...

digital distortion or modeling isn't as cool as a 50-100 dollar pedal... i f you want to spend more get a bunch of them... since i play guitar and keyboards, i have been collecting them for a while...

another really good pedal mxr m-151, that has two channel presets and a good 3 band eq on each... and is very versatile...
you can distort your pre input, slash your amps speakers kinks style... and so on....

if you get one good fuzz box, one good distortion and one good overdrive pedal you're covered for a lot of things...
