Is there a distortion pedal that you thought rivaled high end, high gain heads?

I dunno about "rivaled", but I really like the Okko Dominator, and from what I've heard the Toneczar Openhaus is pretty nice too, I'll find out in a few months when mine arrives... not my demos:

Why don't all-tube high voltage, high gain distortion pedals exist? I can't find one anywhere.

 

 

It'd be difficult to run off a 12V battery, so most use plate starving. You'd have to run it off wall juice like this one with a 230V plate voltage which is coincidentally or not exactly the same as the Matchless Hot Box (and probably both from Bad Cat):

This one has 140V plate voltage:

A while back I remember seeing a company that was making Transistor pedals based off of famous tube pres, but I have completely forgotten.

Right on with the solid punk tone, the playing, and Bad Brains for the love of Jahzeus! Wearing the "Bad Brains" album cover T right now actually. I heard Quickness the other day on Faction after it had been years since hearing anything from that album. The early punk/reggae combination was their strong suit, but the quickness "rock" was some very original and killer music imo.

 

Punk type distortions have always been much easier to find in a pedal than any metal type distortion, imo.

I thought my old damage control solid metal through a crate v18-112 sounded pretty {censored}ing amazing. I need to get some videos of it from my friend, eventually. I thought it was pretty on par with a lot of high end, high gain heads...
