Pedals for metal?

So I've been playing guitar for a while, and I've gotten to the point where I can play some of the songs of the bands I like but I can't imitate their tone. I currently have a Peavey Vypyr VIP 2 40W, Boss DS-1 pedal, and an Ibanez GRG120DX but I'm looking for a pedal I can use to get a sound similar to what bands such as August Burns Red, Of Mice and Men, Parkway drive have in some of their songs. To get and idea of what I want (Because I don't know how to describe it very well) you can listen to Meddler by August Burns Red or Wild Eyes by Parkway Drive. My budget is $100 any help/suggestions would be great. Thanks!


P. S. If you need any other information to help just say!

Your Vypyr should be able to get those tones without a pedal.
ParkWay drive uses/used 6505's there is a 6505 model on the vypyr

Don't get more pedals for a modeling amp, just work on tweaking your amp.

As said, they Vypyr has a 6505 model, and Parkway still use them live. Only thing they do on Wild Eyes is a bit of delay on the lead lines, and the Vypyr should be able to do that too.

Just use the Vypyr settings, and ditch the DS1.

August Burns Red also uses a 6505+ and a ts9, and they definitely used it on Constellations.
