Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

I really like my MXR Distortion III. Cheap and effective, durable.

I really like my proco rat II, but I am gonna get a Keeley mod for it; I think I will like the Keeley Rat more than the original rat reissue I see on ebay for cheap
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Either Marshall Shredmaster or Guv'nor is next on my list. Too bad they've become expensive, although they do a good job of capturing JCM style Marshall tone! Since I don't have a Marshall at the moment, this is a very good thing. A BYOC version is about 1/2 of the price and may be the route I choose.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Been digging my reissue Distortion Plus lately...BMF Great Wide Open is a blast, Purple Nurple too and it can get an almost fuzz like thing in the upper end of the drive...

The custom 78 badass distortion from mxr I've heard nothing but good things about. If you wanna go ALL OUT and it's about the size of 2 mxrs put together, the metal shaman.

I have the 78, and yeah. It's total badass. That was my first thought when he needed an MXR sized distortion. Got my a few months ago for $80. Can't be beat. I've tried.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

I prolly wont get a nano pedaltrain for a few years, but if I did the distortion I would get at this point is the box of rock! small and great reviews.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

This dude makes fantastic pedals...

No frills demo:



$89 + free shipping from Thailand = no sweeter tone for the money :D
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

I own the tc electronic Dark Matter distortion, lost of bottom end if that suits your tastes!
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Thanks, guys! Thus far it looks like the Distortion III will fill my needs. Am going to audition one when I get the chance.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Meh...BA78 is OK, but nothing towritehome about. I would rather have a original MIJ DS1. I never much get along with the modded versions like the BA.


My reccos

Mad professor red distortion
mad professor stone grey
wampler sovereign
Hardwire valve distortion
MI crunchbox (mooer makes a clone)
whirlwind gold box
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Emma Electronica Reezafratzitz is a good pedal.

Wide gain range and also has a 'bias' control which chanegs the nature of the voicing of the pedal from slightly scooped-ish to more 'Vox-y' and everywhere inbetween.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Mad Professor Golden Cello. it isn't great for everything, but it is can give a unique flavor to a certain song, depending on your style.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

Wampler Sovereign. Best from what I've tried so far imo. Lots of tonal options and not a bad sound anywhere on it.
 
Re: Looking for a new DISTORTION pedal

I *really* want to try a Walrus Audio Iron Horse. It sounds fantastic in the demos I've watched.
