seems to be a lot of people on here who know a lot about guitair gear, i've only been playing for a year i have a fender squire stratocastor and a fender 25r frontman, i practice quite a lot so i'm a decent player now,

i'm looking to buy a distortion pedal so i dont have to play clean all the time so my guitair sounds like a proper guitair ! :D

to give u some idea of what pedal to recommend some of my favourite players are, john frusciante, johhny marr, dave grohl, jimi hendrix jeff buckley, lou reed....

cheers in advance :D
Love, Love x

DS-2 is gonna be great distortion for you, gets a nice sound. 99% of the people here will rave about it for you. I would also try the JH-1 (Jimi Hendrix) Fuzz Face, it's an excellent pedal, good parts, good construction, and has a beautiful sound.

The JH-1 will get you a much better classic rock sound, DS-2 is better 90's sound.
"Take that fucking sign down." -John Frusciante

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante
