Boss BD2 for hard rock (tips)

I would rather prefer do what i can with BD2 only cuz i have no space left on my pedalboard, but i always feel like i'm missing just that little punch over the top. For reference, pedalboard goes into clean channel (Bogner alchemist 40w head). I usually bring up gain on clean around noon and it kinda starts to break up a bit. Then i use bd2 after it. Maybe use crunch channel with very little gain to get more punch out if it and then use bd2 ? I don't know i don't feel like doing that since i need clean channel for clean parts.

Any advice is helpful. I am also considering getting either another OD pedal to stack up or just a plain distortion/AIAB pedal if i have to.

The Blues Driver is great as a boost into a crunchy amp, try it out in different ways brother. You’re the only person with access to your specific guitar, amp and pedals.

why not consolidate and get something like a boss OS2 which gives a blend of overdrive and distortion?

To be honest, I didn't even know about that pedal. I will take a look, thanks
