dis·tor·tion
–noun
1. an act or instance of distorting.
2. the state of being distorted or the relative degree or amount by which something is distorted or distorts.
3. anything that is distorted, as a sound, image, fact, etc.


Seriously, I run a Boss pedal, it's 'okay' but not what I am looking for.

My tone is all bottom. and I want something that will be ugly enough, but just not jack my volume.

I guess distortion with some class? All tuned to a "G" on a 6-string. Any suggestions??

:scowl:

Hmmm... you'll need to give us a little more info.
1) Have you tried any other pedals besides the Boss (and which Boss is it?)
2) Have you searched on the word "distortion" yet? (Hint: say yes, and mean it.)
3) Your descriptives are a bit hard to understand- your tone is "all bottom", but it needs to "have class" yet "be ugly", and yet not be just a volume boost? Those terms don't really tell us anything.

Here's what to do (besides searching): post some MP3 or Youtube links of the sound you're after, then tell us your maximum budget. That way we can actually make some meaningful recommendations.

As does the Ashdown James Lomenzo Hyperdrive which will probably be my next purchase - just waiting to hear some clips of it first, but I've read a few posts from people who have bought it and reckon it's the best distortion pedal they've ever tried.
