thats the problem, it seems like no matter what pedal i use its still not dirty enough

mine is a mexican chunk of shit though and a hideous color to boot

I believe that art comes from the person, the person does not come from the art. Supposing the the contrary belief, what is left of the person if everything is art?

im looking into getting something else...eventually.

I think your strat has potential. You're not getting the overdrive and "doominess" your looking for because: you're rocking single coils, from bridge to neck & the maple necks is are more bright and articulate then rosewood necks. With yours, it's more of a Tele w/ a strat body than anything, that's why it's twangy. I have a Strat w/ a Seymor Duncan "Pearly Gates" humbucker in the bridge and a rosewood neck and it couldn't be any darker sounding.

If that's what you're looking for, consider something with humbuckers and just as importantly, go with a rosewood neck. It may sound like the generic answer, but you might want to try a Les Paul. Even the Epiphone versions are great. Especially considering you can upgrade the pick-ups for about $100, to sound about as good as a US standard.

[edit] I meant to add too, it sounds like for your purposes, you "DON'T" want hotter pick-ups. Hot pickups aren't as good for warm, dark, high gain overdrive (ala' SY if you wanna use them as a reference). It's the other way around... I don't feel like explaining the science, but trust me, consider warm pick-ups, "Vintage" labeled stuff would get you there for starters.

you know i get really fucking pissed off when people start discussing: what is art? where does it come from?

Could not agree more. I remember a time when I thought I had to pick between a Les Paul and a Strat.. those were dark, dark days
