How about the Pod XT Live?
Line 6 have some of the top audio R&D staff in the world right now..
Other than that, my favourite distortion pedal of all time is the Zoom Trimetal, but it's not because it sounds analog..
If you're looking to spend decent money then you could get real analog gear. Consider the Ridge Farm Boiler perhaps, or may as well take a look at the Culture Vulture. Neither of those units is particularly suited to live, but they are both true analog. The first is a compressor, the second is an actual rackmount distortion unit. I own the latter and I think it rocks :> I have samples of it kicking about somewhere if you're interested..
The Culture Vulture is the most expensive option, though. It's about £1000 i think..
