Re: Recommend me a Distortion pedal please....
The Rat is great but you can probably pick up a used Boss DS-1 for $19 at Guitar Center, EBay or pawn shopComment

Joyo US Dream. Dirt cheap.
It's more RATT/Whitesnake than Slayer or Metallica though.Epiphone LP Standard PlusTop Pro
Ibanez SZ320 / A8 DD103 bridge.
Ibanez RG270 / Screamin' Demon bridge.
Egnater Tweaker 15 Head / Laney Cub 8 / 2x12 - Celestion V30+K100

Might I suggest either a used or new OCD? Just as an overdrive? I've always felt that pedal is extremely versatile.Schecter ATX Blackjack C7 BKP Painkiller (B) and Abraxas (N)
Hagstrom Hj800 Jazzbox stock pickups
Fender Jazz Bass EMG MJ Set
Music Man SUB Ray5 stock pickups
Line 6 Helix
Dunlop Strings and Picks

Rat.
How big is your budget, though? I think you might be able to find a used crunchbox for relatively little money.Originally posted by Myaccount876Comment

Let me join the others in saying a ProCo Rat (the Rat 2s are pretty cheap online) or Solo.
I had a US Dream (before I got my Riot) and I would say it can get some 80's tones but the Rat nails the 80's Distortion Sound more.Originally posted by Diego View Post
EDIT: I also had a Keeley modded DS1...the Rat was much better IMO BUT the DS1 was used a ton in the 80's.Last edited by treyhaislip; 11-12-2015, 07:23 AM.Comment
