Tell us what you already own so suggestions can be more accurate/readily usable. Also, the distortion side of it... Are you looking for a really messed up analog sound or do you want something more digital sounding? I know I can get tons of mud out of my setup if I take the settings on my Aphex Xciter/Big Bottom and place them somewhere ridiculous. Set correctly, it's tight as a drum and HUGE, but I use the Big Bottom and the Xciter(which can get just plain nasty and sharp in the high-mids) with sensible settings. It's not an everything on 10 device at all, but for you it could be the ticket with extreme settings.

Roll down the tone on your guitar and turn up the bass on the amp.  :)

wooooah my bad,my computer had a virus and by the time i got it fixed i forgot all about this post. anyway i got an epiphone les paul, bugera amp and boss ds-1 at the moment but that doesnt matter because im looking to overhaul my rig anyway and money is no object. especialy seeing as how the stuff that makes you sound shitety is cheap for the most part. as far as the $%&#ed up sounding analog distortion or digital thing im 100% looking for a harsh digital clipping sound. im not sure how to achieve that tho, you can you overdrive digital recording stuff the same way you can overdrive tape? and what are some digital distortion boxes NOT modeled after another pedal the harsher and nastier the better

wow lots of great responses. when i posted this thing i thought everyone was just gonna ask me why and call me an idiot lol. anyway, like i said great responses but i need more MUD. thats really the main thing im looking for - a sludgey mud-tone. so how do i maximize the mush ?

Get an Orange AD30 and crank the bass/volume! Also, downtune and turn the tone down on your guitar/pedals.

A Rat (at least a keeley modded one) will give you thick fuzzy mushy tone.
