- Zvex Fuzz Factory
- Electro Harmonix Microsynth (square wave function serves as a nice, rich distortion)
- Rat II, modified by Effector 13...

then into an Electro Harmonix Polychorus...

then a volume pedal...

then into a Boss DD-20 Gigadelay...

then into an iMac with Ableton 5...

and then my amp.

Recently I've been plaing primarily clean straight into my amp (old fender pro reverb) with a Vox Valvetone forjustsome slight boosting.

Also in my collection.

Ross Distortion
Shin-Ei Fuzz Wah
Audioworks FET distortion
Zeus Distortion Overdrive

I think that's it for gain pedals.

I use a homemade one - not made in my home - but it has a tone and a gain knob, and otherwise looks like a small silver brick. Apart from that, no other pedals at all.

humphrey,i've a great amp/amps!
marshall master mark II 100w head on a '68 basketweave cab with four original greenbacks a/b'ed with a 1990 fender tweed bassman

i just like having variety,there isn't just ONE distortion sound!

Off and on:

Zvex machine - sounds horrible in a really unique way. Like a blown speaker or a tube amp just after shutting off the power. Really great for bass because it dosen't clip and compress, instead it creates crossover distortion.

Metasonix Agonizer - Yes, it was stupid expensive and has silly names for the controls, but it's fucking amazing and I will never sell it. It squeals, chirps, oscillates, threatens to destroy speakers, melts/slays face - without even a signal.

Then there's always the Rat R2DU, an early pawnshop find that's still cool

I like the mail truck. How does it sound?

Shie Ei Exciter. Has a crappy wah /volume thing and two settings, "surf" and "hurricane". But the best part is a little button at the top of the pedal that sets off a siren over top of the guitar signal. Both the fuzz and the siren seem to be completely unaffected by whatever guitar signal is run thru the box. I guess it's more of a noise generator than a distortion pedal. Its very obnoxious.

Also use an original super fuzz.

Would also like to find a Roland Bee- Baa.
