I’ve been using Boss MT-2 some time ago. I was nice to recreate old-school metal distortion sound like Cliff’s Pulling Teeth.
The biggest problem is lack of lows I think – even at all-tube amp I couldn’t really cut thru the guitars.
As for cheap-ass Boss effects I like Bass Overdrive ODB-3 set Gain at 3 o’clock and Balance fully clockwise. It sounded to harsh with late 80’s solid-state Trace-Elliot, but gives tons of grit with all-tube Ampeg.
Try it with your Sovtek amp and I don’t think you’ll be dissapointed.
