I chose fuzz, but equally like overdrive. I typically play clean or with some natural overdrive or Bad Monkey. I'll kick on the Fuzz as desired.

For some reason I can't leave the fuzz alone for long.

Well, I'm thinking as of now I prefer distortion based on the options. I have a DS-1 that I'm not really a fan of, but my friend has a Rat it it really sounds great. I don't have enough experience yet using fuzz and overdrive to make a decision though, I love fuzzy tone too, but it seems like straight distortion is more usable than fuzz in a broad context.

i voted for the MT-2, but i do have to say a tubescreamer overdrive to me is equally effective if use properly..

Not a fan of Fuzz at all

Metal Muff baby, and my newly modified MT-2. I seem to make everything I play including Hendrix sound like hardcore METAL!!!


Always scoop the mids!!
If it ain't METAL...it AIN'T music.

I voted distortion, but honestly I don't have enough pedal experience to really tell much difference. I have at least one of each different type but to date have used the distortion most.

I usually use amp distortion. but chose the "distortion" poll because I really like the Big Muff Pi. I come up with some killer riffs with the Peavey XXX and the Muff. They work well together. MT-2 is okay, but sounds.... digital to me (lack of a better word).

all-in-all amp distortion has always been my choice.

Oh, and I also really love the Digitech Bad Monkey. Just like the one on the Gear-Monkey give-away http://gear-monkey.com/forum/feature...al-t470.0.html


Cheers
