Re: B3 Distortion pedal
A quick google informed me that it's a DS-1 clone. If they're close in price over there, I'd say go for the DS-1, as it's a proven classic that's both reliable and easily modded. If the B3 is a "boutique" version of the DS-1 - well, the Boss is cheap and easy to mod. I guess it just depends on how much you're willing to spend.
