I've been looking around and asking a few of my friends in local bands. I've heard a few different choices. I want one for my Fender Strat. My sights are on a Ibanez Tube Screamer, which I mainly like because it's my favorit color, green. I wouldn't mind hearing some ideas around the 80-110$. |

Which do you want, distortion or overdrive? |

[quote="hide the Shuffle"]Which do you want, distortion or overdrive?[/quote] Mainly distortion. I went to a music shop today and tested out a few pedals, the Tube Screamer really stood out to me. I only know two local bands that use it, they showed me also. I wouldn't mind some opinions. |

Most of the time, I use this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... sku=151427 A boss OD-20. At first I thought it was overkill, but i've grown to like. Can basically get any sound I want, I've used it to replace a few of my old ones. |

Yeah, I was thinking about getting something with more options or settings. However, I really like... Green. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a little more bang for my buck. |

i've had a digitech metal master for a few months and it is suprisingly versatile. i bought it used for $40 but for a new one it's only like 80 bucks. |

My Blues Driver is pretty useful, but I hear Tube Screamers are good too. Try out a Boss DS-1... they're only $40, so it's cheap if you like it. If I were getting a new pedal, though, I'd get a mega distortion. |

A seemingly absurd question coming from a pillows fanatic...but all I can find is "oh, it makes your solid state amp sound like a big tube amp, and gives it a 'creamy blues sound'". Que? |

It can sound a lot of different ways. It's hard to describe it anyway, so just try to play one sometime. I think the pillows probably used it on I know You, if that helps any. |

Mega Distortion I have, I only use it with a Blues Driver or as an octave pedal. The Blues Driver does work for making a tube sound. I played a gibson 18-watt tube amp a long time ago, it makes my Crate sound like that  It doesn't really make it louder.

If you're using a double muff, youre missin out. It's sound like a danelectro, which by the way, about 90% of them are garbage. |

I've heard of some people buying up to 3 Proco Vintage Rats since it was that amazing. |
