To Scream or Not To Scream:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot another pedal I have that would also have a definite effect but then again, I remember Robert and Gball speaking of not trying to make a Maserati out of a Chevette,,,,, so to speak. While I am sure there are more than one way to arrive at a sound Robert likes, the solution might be as easy as a better suited amp.

Now for that other Pedal, The Boss MT2 Metal Zone
 
What about a Boss SD-1? Not sure about having enough mids since it supposedly isn't as mid focused? I just gave my daughter's step son mine but they can be had dirt cheap and I hear people like those over a TS into a Marshall. When I had the DSL50 I was using a T-Rex Yellow Drive. Or you could find a HM-2?

I haven't used this amp but I would say try using the red channel on a lower pre-gain setting and putting an MXR M77 in front of it; that pedal gives you the capacity to boost volume, add overdrive, bump the mids, and cut or boost bass using its various controls. It is basically a modified Boss SD-1. Run it with the volume right up and the drive right down, adjust the 100Hz bass cut/boost as needed, and try clicking the 'bump' switch in and out. It should enable a tighter sound somehow. The best way to get rid of mush on a high gain channel is to drop the gain on the amp a bit and boost it into the amp
