I second those Blackstar pedals, if you're looking for some serious Metal tones get that Gus G. pedal they make (Darkfire I think?). I think MXR makes that Fullbore Metal that sounded pretty good to my ear.
Other than that, I say ditch the amp and get something else. I've spent a good portion of my life learning the hard way that if the amp isn't doing it for you no amount of pedals and other stuff is going to fix it. If you want Mesa metal tones, go get yourself a Mesa and you'll be happy, they're awesome amps.
