I have three distortion pedals and I love 'em all .......Digitechs "The Weapon" , the "DF-7" and the Scott Ian's "Black 13". With these 3 I can get all kind of great distortion tones. Listen to the sound clips at the bottom of each of those pages and see which ones you like.....I use an Epi LP, Fender American Deluxe HSS Strat, or 1 of my ESP's and I play through either my Crate 120W 2x12, Crate 50W or a Marshall 50W combo.

Number 3 sound file on the "Weapon" page is really awesome, you press the pedal down slowly and the distortion fades in real smooth!! A great effect
