Im wanting a 80s thrash sound with a new edge and maybe a bit of synths. Any ideas for pedals. Mxr m80, tech 21 sansamp, and a crybaby are already in my rig. Any more ideas guys?

A proco rat is pretty hot man, mild grit to overdrive to a big muff sound. I'd go for that, I use it in my band we do melodic metal with a modern edge. If you like chorus a small clones sweet. Your sansamp with it would sound great.

Heavy and synthy fuzz. Destroys All. Although I don't have one yet. Yet I said!

If I were in a thrash band....I would have kept my Darkglass B3K. I prefer the Swell B-Drive for what I'm doing....but the B3K would have won out for thrash.
I'm seeing cannibal corpse on the destroyers of the faith but I'm goin for devildriver, dying fetus, and JFAC
Grab yourself a Boss GEB-7 to further tweak your EQ. Combine it with your Sansamp or M80 (depending if you want some overdrive or balls-out distortion) and you'll cut through just about any mix.
I'd love to say "get a Big Muff" but I honestly can't see it being used effectively in 80's thrash metal unless you're solo-ing. It works brilliantly when I'm playing some doom/sludge stuff but for thrash, I tend to think either distortion or overdrive as essential effects.

It's not cheap but IMO it's worth it.
You might find one for sale in the classifieds.
Overdrive and distortion are usually the most common effects for thrash metal. if you want some more suggestions for effects, try some modulation effects like a chorus or a flanger.

If I were ever in a thrash band, I would definitely use a B3K as my "always on" effect. Sure it's expensive, but I say if something's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

Using an EBS ValveDrive for overdrive, and a Dr. No "Black Magic" for distortion myself.
