Hey everyone I'm looking for a good Distortion and reverb pedal that wont burn a hole in my wallet. For the Distortion I'm looking at "Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi Distortion Effects Pedal" but i'm not sure about the reverb pedal what do you guys suggest?

Check ebay for a used Boss RV-3 reverb/delay. It's one of the better boss pedals, too bad they stopped producing them.
Thanks do you know any online stores that might carry it and other. The nearest Music shop Is 1.5-2 hours from where I wont be able to make it out there for another week or so.
You need to be more specific, at least with the distortion you want. Are you looking for a subtle, somewhat transparent OD to give your sound a bit of an edge; a gritty, bassy ODB-3 type distortion; or something way over the top?
As for the Reverb, the good ones are in the $125-$200 range, below $100 new may not make you happy. I would suggest the used market in this case.

Since the ODB-3 is below $90, I'm going to take it that you tried it, but there was something about it you didn't like?
I can't think of much else in that price range that is similar to the ODB-3. Perhaps the Ibanez PD-7?
You could get the Electro Harmonix Holy Stain, which combines fuzz/overdrive and reverb (as well as a couple other effects) all in one pedal
+1 although Holy Stain wouldn't have the flexibility of buying a Big Muff and Holy Grail seperately.
Yes I've tried the ODB-3 that my friend owns and It was one of my choices. I wanted to see what other people suggest to get a broader selection to look at.
