Hmm..I didn't see the post I made from my phone on here. Sorry if it's a repeat - I had a lot of LD mail to sort through. One of my fav classics is the Boss DS-1 (the orange one). There is just something about that pedal that gives just the right punch. It's a classic distortion sound IMHO. Lots of bite and right on cue in combo w/ a tube amp. AndyG
