The BM and DS-1 are two different beast altogether. I've never heard anything good about a stock DS-1 either but two alternatives to them would be the marshall governor and the Pro Co rat. Keep in mind that those pedals are distortion pedals while the BM is a tubescreamer is an overdrive pedal. Look up the difference.

From the looks of it your budget isn't very big. If your looking for a good tubescreamer pedal like the badmonkey I'd reccommend the Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer. Its a TS9 in plastic housing. IO know cause I have both. Good luck.
