yesterday I've got something like your tone when I plugged the distortion after ther reverb. I haven't experienced with strat - my guitar has a glued in neck.
So coming to the pint.i guess boss distortion (am I right?) has "some kind of" built in compressor befor the distortion effect (the one point of the soind in my oppinion is attack) that gives effect to the reverb i used. But I believe that effect could be reached using hi volume (i meen loudness - maybe 2/3 - 1/2 of the main sound) and quickly fading reverb befor the distortion with ~35 deg. angle. But you should also experiment with distortion's "gain".
It is a matter of attitude ot your sound) the majority of people would search for "there" effect - that would halp them to reach the sound they want. But I'd rather have one effect with lots of buttons and controlls than have 3 different distortions from 3 manufacturers or have a digital processor which simulates the sound of the 3 dist. effects...
it's just occur to me that the reverb could add some "additional" frequencies that are missing in the main sound. I believe there presence explains the "roaring" sound. Those additional frequencies could appear in the signal due to the construction of the effect (overdrive).
Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
