well the ibanez ts's are the standard right now, but if you got the money you can get a better botique-ish one or a modded one...

what kind of amp do you have?

you don't need a tubescreamer with a fucking 5150... those have tons of gain.

try something like an eq pedal or a sonic maximizer for fine tuning on your sound.

Exodus's sound is real fuzzy, too much gain. Makes for good shredding though.

a ts-9 is an overdrive pedal... often used to make medium gain amps like jcm 800's seem like high gain amps because they give a nice clean signal boost with added gain... very nice if you love the tone/color/sound/voicing of a medium/low gain amp but you want more gain.

but with a 5150 i think it's mostly unecissarry for "tone shaping".
