Suggestions for distortion pedal?

RAT.......................

I'm starting to realize that new amp is just too expensive of an option for me right now so I'm looking into pedals to help my tone out a little.

I'm looking for a distortion pedal that is something that will give me good crunch, but still good lows. Anyone have any suggestions? Price isn't too much of an issue.


I've been thinking about the Proco Rat 2...

You didn't say what kind of amp you have, but i use an old Tube Screamer with a Peavey Renown 400. I set the overdrive on the amp and the Tube Screamer at about 75%. It's got a good fat grind and squeals like a pig on pick harmonics.

My setup is no good for switching from clean to dirty and back, but that's ok. The distortion sound is like thunder through a meat grinder. =]

Take your amp and guitar to the store with you and get what works best with your rig.
