Bought the MXR Distortion III ages ago and found it to be great with all amps ive used, its as near neutral as you can get and is more like a dirty boost if thats possible, might not be distorted enough for most folks but with a bit of gain from the amp and this on full whack, it sounds lurrrvely. Theyre bomb proof too! Also got the Love Pedal distortion and Love Pedal Fuzz, the distortion is ace, very similar to the MXR but a bit more gain, awsome. The Fuzz is fantastic too, really beefy but not flabby or fizzy like fuzz pedals mostly are. Really good and not as expensive as Love Pedals used to be! Finally bought a BOSS HM-2 .....the Japanese 80's one that Entombed used, it cost a bit and i'll literally never use it for anything other than "Entombed Tone" pissing about!!!....nah, too be fair ive tried it on other settings and its basically a boss distortion, great and bomb proof, probably pick them up for the price of a decent distortion pedal now. The End.
