Just be selective about it. Like, don't put the same distortion on everything, otherwise nothing will be intelligible at all.
in the same vein as this, where you're looking for harsh tones you might be pleasantly surprised by what running everything through a wah pedal does also (especially coupled with fuzz). just don't funk it up, use it like a tone filter. cheap flangers coupled with harsh gain also work really well for creating unique noise tones.

also, again this only applies for making 'noise', hit your local pawn shops and start collecting cheap guitar effects. anything that can be run through a 1/4 inch cable can be run through a guitar stomp box. it may not sound pristine (and not something normally recommended to most) but for noisier stuff it's a cheap method of collecting lots of tone manipulators.

Danelectro pedals are great for that. They are no more than 15 bucks new and sometimes produce a fantastic sound with a little tweaking. Only downside is there isnt a huge variation in tones you can get. I have used my FAB over drive pedal for slight blues rhythms and whatnot over many other pedals. That thing cost me 5 dollars used.

i was about to say those HAVE to be the minis in plastic cases hehe. you're right they're not bad and a decent bang for the buck. i quite like the dan-echo but it's about 10x the price of a mini, then again it's also a big chunk of metal.

For being plastic/metal there still surprisingly well built. I have used mine in a love setting a few times now and it holds up just fine. Although I know what you mean about having plastic pedals It feels super cheap next to my Big Muff Pie which is built like a Russian Tank.

How does that work? I have heard mixed opinions.
