Recomended Distortion Pedal?

[Fang]

I'm looking at buying a distortion pedal to use with my amp, and I was wondering if you guys could make some suggestions?

I fiddled around with a BOSS Metal Zone and liked the sounds, and I like the distortion on Laney or Mesa Boogie type amps.

Come to think about it, I also like BOSS MT-2. Use it with BOSS DD-6 into a solid state amp, and they will blow you away.....

yeah I'm new to this pedal stuff, the Metal Zone was the only pedal I really got to try

I've tried my bridge pickup Seymour Duncan "Screamin Demon" with BOSS MT-2, BOSS DD-6 into an amp, you can easily get "Scorpions" sound. Really inspiring

Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS9).

The uber metal blows MT2 away, I've got both of these

Depending on what sound you're after,I'd go the Metal Zone for all out distortion and it's cool EQ or the DS-1 Distortion which is another great Boss pedal,which isn't as lethal but still sounds great.

keeley ds-1 as boost

It all depends on if your amp is tube or solid state. Boosting a solid state amp sucks, while boosting a tube amp can be magical. With the MT-2 you're pretty much stuck with it's own voicing, while if you boost a tube amp with something fairly transparent your amp and guitar still shine through. I used to own a Metalzone and while it's fun to make little crappy practice amps sound like vintage Pantera, it's still a ****ty sterile tone.

+1 on the MI Audio Tube Zone, since you like Mesa like distortion...
