So I'm thinking it's time to try out some sort of overdrive on a few songs. Having never really been much into stomp boxes, I'm looking for some ideas for something under $100.
Something with a little edge, not an all out metal distortion. |

My local Ashdown dealer says "they're not out yet, don't know when" |

If you're willing to wait a few weeks to get one that is . . . |
