I'm looking for a distortion that will do the work for that, I was

mudhoney :http://www.noiseon.com/effectinfo.aspx?pid=273
sd-9 :http://www.noiseon.com/effectinfo.aspx?pid=210
and of course the ds-1 :http://www.noiseon.com/effectinfo.aspx?pid=67

any suggestions????

thanks guys! (and girls :-) )

It all depends if your going to use it to drive an already crunchy amp
or if the amp is going to be totally clean and the pedal is the only
source of grit.

Out of those clips I liked the Maxon the best.

if you just want a rock sound the MXR Zakk Wylde has got more tone
that a Boss DS-1 although it's more expensive but it's a similar type
unit.

If money is no object check out Xotic FX http://www.prosoundcommunications.com/english/

the AC + sounds particularly nice, for really heavy stuff the BB +
preamp may be good

Out of all the ones I've tried the ones that stand out are the MXR
microamp, the Xotic AC booster and the MXR wylde.

But....there are hundreds of boost, overdrive, distortion, metal
pedals out there. you may want to check out the line 6 stomp modeller
or just go round and try as many as you can.

in the end it depends what you can afford. but if money is no object
some of the best are Xotic, Keeley and Fulltone
