Help on explaining Metal Tones with Pedals?

So Ive been playing guitar for over 2 1/2 years now and Ive been very content with the sound i have. However recently Ive been noticing the sound im getting isn't quite right... here's my Gear:

-Fender Strat. (yes i know this is a really bad guitar for metal, but for now it will have to do)
-Not sure what kind of amp i have but kind of small (about 2 1/2 feet tall), gets the job done though
-All Im using is a Boss ML-2 Metal Core

that's all i got, a pretty basic set up =)

so now that my skills are progressing, i feel like i should get a tone the fits my skill level. With that Metal core, all my palm muting doesn't sound right, its not chunky enough. Recently i just developed the alternate picking skill and ive noticed the Metal core isnt getting the right sound.

Ive heard about overdrives. is that what i need in combination with my metal core or what, i need a more ballsy tone.

thanks for your help =D
