First, what kind of lead tone are you looking for? A blues, Rock, Metal, fusion etc? There are many out there and to each his/her own, it is better to try as many as possible as these gentlmen suggested. Take your amp and guitar with you if you try them at a music store. I have an old vintage RAT for Pink Floyd-like "Comfortly Numb" solo's, and such, and I Modded Marshall Blues Breaker pedal for a fuller bluesy overdrive. Recently I picked up a BJF Babay Blue pedal that gets amazing tube amp overdrive and compression. An old TS-9, but I have noticed most TS- loose some low end when kicking in, but that could be modded for more lows if need be. What MM amp are you using? I have a RD50, that uh... yes I modded to get some awesome lead tones, so a pedal is not needed much anymore with the RD.... :)
Good Luck!
