    Re: Looking for a decent inexpensive distortion pedal

    Check out the trading post. I posted a bunch o' pedals there last night. Many of them mentioned in this thread.

      the last pedal i bought almost a year ago, is a winner for me. Tone City Wild Fire. There's a whole bunch of other mini Tone City pedals that you could try. 50 bucks each

        Just listen to the tone Rob Chapman gets out of it. I've set the link with the exact moment he plays it:



        That's heavy, definitely a worthy Recto sounding pedal.
        I had a US Dream and IMO it was a bit too warm and nice for an angry Recto tone. It lacks a bit of sizzle and "good" fizz on top.
        Even tho I’m not interested in that style of music, that was a fun shoot out. I kind of agreed with their choices for the best of the pedals too.

        And I definitely agreed that the Victory amp, once set for its own overdrive without any pedals, sounded better than any of those pedals sounded played through that same amp set for a cleanish tone.

        That Metal Core pedal seemed to give the most bang for the buck...but it didn’t sound as impressive the second time around as it did when they first tested it earlier in the video.

          Those guys do not do very good demos, or vids in general IMO.
