Which Distortion pedal for high gain/80s stadium rock tones?

A Rat is great for 80s metal, but better into a slightly dirty amp for that sort of sound.

hmmm lots of choice!

I has a Seymour Duncan Power Grid I could let go of if you fancy. It's proper so it is. You tube still has some demos.

There is a Mooer Solo Riot clone in the classifieds. That would be a cheap way to get started.

Also for the list, you might want to have a look at the Xvive Golden Brownie

J Rockett 10 Ton Hammer. They are noisy, but they do the 80’s thing especially well.

Riot, Rat, Mad Professor 1, Pinnacle or EVH. There is no sound from the 80s that these cant do
