I've just bought an RM-50 that came with Blackface and Plexi modules. I have a small amount of cash leftover and I'm debating whether to use the funds to buy a third module used or an OD pedal (probably something like the Zvex Box of Rock).
As I mentioned in another thread, I'd like to have three or four basic tones at my disposal; a pristine clean, a mild OD, a classic rock distortion, and a higher gain rock/metal distortion.
I think if I was to buy a high gain module I could cover at least three of these tones (but probably would need to swap modules depending on which tones are needed for a song). With an OD, I could probably get all four tones I want, but I'm not sure how the amp would react with an OD/Boost and whether it would sound as good as the dedicated module.
If I opt with the OD pedal I may still buy another module down the track but it wouldn't be for a little while.
What do you guys think is a better choice for the time being?
