pHiLtHy	Re: overdrive/distortion boost pedals? help! I might also recommend checking out the new Ibanez TS-7... it has a boost switch on it for a little more bottom. However, a couple of my faves are 1) Boss OD-3 overdrive... a very under rated OD pedal IMHO and has been my favorite OD pedal for at least a year now which is a record for me. I have 2 of them on my pedal board... great dynamics and smooth tube like sounding pedal. 2) Boss BD-2 blues driver... has more gain on tap than most OD type pedals but really cuts trough the mix in a heavy blues type of way if you want and can almost get into DS-1 distortion territory when cranked... good dynamics too.
