Amazon distortion pedals?

Casually browsing all the knockoff and no name pedals that Amazon has to offer and wondering if anyone here has had success with any of them.

Ive been looking into getting my first distortion pedal and not sure if these cheaper pedals are worth a damn or if I should just get something higher end. I’m not sure what tone I’m after either so worried about spending a lot for a pedal that I don’t end up liking.
 
There’s some videos on YouTube of people checking them out and comparing them to other pedals. I was surprised by some of them. No clue about the construction though.

They’re cheap enough to try at least one out and see how it is. Makes me wish I had a younger player just starting out, it’d be fun to buy a bunch and make a pedalboard for them to play around with.

I’ve got an Eno Myomorpha coming this week (rat clone). I can let you know about that one at least
