Re: looking for a good distortion pedal..
Steve...
I have a Boss SD-1 that I was going to list tomorrow. It was modded by John Spina, who is a member of our user group. All of the major components were completely upgraded, and it sounds 100% better than it did stock. More gain on tap, and better gain. Better tone control useage and clarity. I also still have the original components.
I guess the best way to describe it is like a Keely modded pedal, but much better sounding...and I've owned both.
$70 is what I was going to ask shipped in the US. I also have a power supply that we could talk about if you needed it for a few bucks more.

Spend $39 on a Boss DS-1, play it for awhile, and once you've figured out what could be better about it, have somebody on here mod it.

The best cheapest pedal I have ever bought was the Behringer Ultra Metal UM100. It is almost exactly the same as the Boss Metalzone. It is a very versatile pedal. It is very popular now that people have heard how good it is. It is only about $40.00 AUS so it will be even cheaper once converted to USD.

Before I saw spacecaptain's post, I was gonna offer my Guv'nor (I bought from JeffB a few months back). It's a fantastic pedal, but since I sold my only good I don't have a huge use at the moment, and I could use the money. But you should seriously buy spacecaptain's (talk him down to $57 first
). There are no better pedals that I have used than the Guvnor.

Re: looking for a good distortion pedal..
Thanks man (and JB_From_Hell)! You're almost making me not wanna sell it with all those compliments! It's definitely a cool pedal, but I just don't need it really. My amp and Tubulator take care of most of my needs.
Halftempted, if your half-tempted (bah doom tshhh) to check it out, shoot me a PM. Thanks again for the support fellas.

Get yourself a DS-1 for $39.95 or a SD-1 for $49.95 brand new then get them modded when you have enough cash.
