I have a Digitech DF7 Distortion Factory pedal. I haven't explored everything it's capable of yet. I will say this about it though. For a hundred bucks, you can hardly go wrong. Seven different distortion models, 3 EQ pots and 3 pots inside those for level, gain and midrange center. About the only beef I have with it is that it doesn't sound analog enough... the distortion is almost too clean.

Speaking of that, is there a pedal that will give a mostly digital effect chain a more or less analog sound quality? About the only thing I can think of is putting pots into the power supplies so I can tweak voltages here & there.
