You could try out Fulltone OCD drive pedal maybe. It is a really good quality pedal and sounds cool. Try it out in the store and see if it gives you enough drive and if you like the tone.

I'll echo what Todd said both about how to use the amp and the TS together.
The Blackstar you're using does have a master volume control - ? Is it the tone of the distortion that you don't like or the amount? There are literally hundreds of OD/distortion boxes out there. If you have a budget of around $200.00 US (€177.00) you have a lot of choices ... The Fulltone 'OCD' as Bogdan mentions is great sounding and has a lot of gain. Todd uses the protonepedals 'Bulb' overdrive and has more gain than anyone should be allowed to have I like the Suhr 'Riot' and Catalinbread 'SCOD' for higher gain. Ibanez 'Sonic Distortion' (SD9) is a nice, smooth high gainer. A little less expensive is the proco 'Rat', a mainstay distortion box since the 80s (Mooer 'black secret' is a really good and very inexpensive Rat clone). Also the Boss 'SD-1'. More gain and smoother than a DS-1. *You can find most things at a considerably lower price point if you don't mind using Ebay or Reverb.com and you're patient.

Though similar in it's voicing I will say that the OCD has way more gain and potential low end than a stock TS and the OCD is considered a distortion pedal. Mine even gets into fuzz territory when I max out the gain.
