Which Maxon pedal?

I play Death/Thrash, I wan't to get a nice dist/OD pedal.

I have heard Maxon pedals are good, I have seen a few posts recommending the Maxon OD808.

Has anyone played with the Maxon D&S or D&S II ? What was it like?

Any other recommendations (Except getting a new amp)?

the maxon od808 is to kick a tube amp in the nuts. The pedal itself isn't high gain. the other 2 pedals i'm not familiar with

what kind of amp are you using?

are you looking for a boost, or a stand alone pedal?

the d&s II is basically a ballsier higher gain od808... it's still basically a boost pedal though.

I'm using a carlsbro glx100

The overdrive on it is not totally useless, so I reckon a meaty boost might give me a good sound, but it is pretty bad.

it's a s.s. amp right?

try it with a boost... but make sure you can return it if you don't like it. normally boost pedals are for tube preamps, so with a s.s. amp it might not sound optimal.

Ok, thanks guys, I was going to get one off ebay, but I think I'll play it safe now...

Are there any decent stand alone distortion pedals?

Oh and do you have any experience with the maxon SD-9 (sonic distortion) or OD-9 (overdrive) pedals? are they stand alone as opposed to boost pedals?
