Right now I'm running an Epiphone Les Paul Studio or Ibanez (Seymour Duncan SH-2N and SH-8 Invader) into a Vox AC15C1, using a JHS Soul Food Meat & 3 to get a good drive tone. It sounds great for Foo Fighters rock type stuff, but I always think I should get a distortion pedal for a little extra gain. I look at reviews distortion pedals online, but then play for a bit and think I don't need one, but then I think I do, but then I don't, etc. Should I stick with what I have or should I get a distortion pedal, and if so, which one?

Any booster/buffer du jour should do the job. I'm partial to the Duncan SFX-01. Or the newer version.

Re: Pedal Dilemma
Distortion of overdrive? To add more distortion to what you have, use an overdrive, like the 805 Overdrive. If you need an all-out distortion pedal, track down a Dirty Deed, which will push even a dead clean amp into the right amount of distortion.Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: Pedal Dilemma
