what sort of playing you doing??? best to see what you play more of, and what style. Then try both dist and overdrive, to see what you think is best! are you using multi effects or stomp boxes??? i use a ibby Jem 7v, GT-6 pedal (with Ds-1 distortion) through a Laney tube amp. Great for everything i've found, lead/soloing, chrords etc. what gear you got at the moment???
