New Pickups or A distortion Pedal??

Heyyyy guys i recently got a Greg Bennett AV3....I love the clean sound but the distortion is a bit lacking (though still pretty good)...i want a more metallic sound on my treble pick up....something that will suit maiden or metallica and give a me a nice crunchy distortion....Should i change my pickups? or will a distortion pedal suffice for the time being? either way could you also suggest some good pick ups or pedals...I have zeroed in on the boss mt 2 distortion pedal....Any opinion or suggesstion will be highly appreciated...Thanks!!
for those who find it tedious to reply i have set up a poll!! ...Cheers!!

 

Distortion pedal, by all means.

You don't run your setup through a Mesa or Diezel, am sure ...

 

buy da pedal dude....Boss MT2 is one of da best value of money.......

 

buy a metalier

 

Buy the metallizer from me.

 

Thanks a lot for your response guys.....
To alpha1: lol nope definitely not a mesa or a diezel....just a marshall dfx15....
To ambush: im not sure what metallier is...could you give me a bit more info abt it...thanks!

 

AMT metallizer pedal.
Got pretty thick metal tone - similar to a marshall driven by a TS-9

 

ohhh the Metallizer...yeah i know that one is good too but it goes way beyond my budget i think....though ill let you know alpha if i wanna buy it...

 

I am in Pune, by the way.

New Metallizer costs about 6.5K I guess.
