Ahoy there boys and girls,
What's the current go to for an EVH style distortion?
That 80s shreddy, marshall in a box, friedman style thing. Just picked up a marshall origin 20 combo and need something for when faces need melting.
I had a suhr riot a while ago which did a good job, also heard good things about a wampler pinnacle, be-od, bogner pedals and the 5150 overdrive but i'll welcome any suggestions for hidden cheap gems as well.
What's everyone else using? I've got a helix fx which I can use for a bit so no rush, I can hold out for a bargain to show up.

Alternatively, for a Marshall-in-a-box, the JHS Angry Charlie's are good and as it happens, I might be selling the modded Andy Timmons one which has a built-in separate boost, the JHS AT+. If interested, PM me (NOW SOLD)
The mad professor's reverb has intrigued me though, so that requires some research.
Curious nobody has sided with the BE-OD, that's given my wallet a sigh of relief!
If not, I'd stick with a Riot or Guv'nor style pedal, personally. The BE-OD is great but can get lost in the mix easily, and is probably a little more modern than the era you're looking at.
