Hi all, looking to grab a new distortion pedal to replace my aging Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde V2 which is pretty decent, but I've never been 100% satisfied with it for various reasons. I've basically narrowed it down to these 4 (I think): Wampler SLOstortion, Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe, Truetone Jekyll & Hyde V3, or the Suhr Riot. I've done research, read reviews, watched demos, but haven't been able to try any of these out, since they don't seem to be in stock very often locally. Now, since none of these are that cheap for a pedal, I'd really appreciate some input on any of these, although I am open to suggestions outside of these 4 pedals.
What I'm looking for:
Versatility (from transparent overdrive to balls-to-the-wall)
Quality of tone (needs to be well rounded and versatile, but not compromise good, pure tone)
Clarity & Harmonics(can't be muddy or one-dimensional/"flat")
Needs to sound natural and organic: "amp-like"
*these aren't in any particular order, and anything else would just be a plus, although a clean boost would be rather nice
I know it may be sort of vague, but I hope someone can lead me in the right direction or have some suggestions. Thanks for your time!
