A couple of distortion fx I use that work well and sound really good are: The Danelectro Daddy-o & a Smokey Amps cig pack amp (this little thing has a really kick ass distortion sound to it). The only problem w/ the Smokey is it's probably pretty easy to overload your amp inputs since it's already amplifying the signal. I use these w/ violin & cello so your results may vary (E-bow? Who needs it when you can get sustain longer than a stretch of N. Dakota highway. Accept no cheap substitutes for the real thing ;) ). The coolest sound I've heard out of either of these units has to be cello harmonics run into the daddy-o and looped into a boomerang. Absolutely nothing else sounds like it (probably due to the cello's unique harmonic properties, long playing surface and playing style). I'm surprised w/ all this talk of distortions that no one has chimed in w/ the Zvex Wooly Mammoth (designed by our own Mr. Zwicky I might add) ;) <bad humor> What's the difference between a violin and a viola anyways? The viola burns longer. </bad humor> L. Stafford Richard For Cerebellum / A Most Happy Sound http://www.winternet.com/~r4c
