Mikey,
With your budget, I would suggest that you look at the Boss pedals. They have so many pedals that you can probably find one that will do what you want. Marshall, Ibanez Tube Screamer and Jekyl and Hyde pedals start at about $95 and go up to around $120. I have never tried an MXR distortion, but the price is in your range and MXR has a good reputation. I don't like to badmouth gear, but I have never talked to a guitarist that likes DOD pedals. Someone must like them though, they have been in business quite a while. You might also consider some of the new Danelectro mini pedals. The reviews in Guitar Player are good and the price is right - $20 - $30. I haven't played or heard any of the mini pedals, but I use the Danelectro Chorus and Delay pedals and really like them.
