Hi. I use a Boss Distortion box (DS-1) and I love it. I've had it forever and I've tried a lot of other boxes.
I see the semi-newer DS-1 models on ebay for like $29, which is insanely cheap. I love the way it sounds with everything. You can get light distortion and heavy distortion. It sounds pretty natural.
Please bear in mind, mine is the older Japan-made one, but I can't imagine that the newer ones sound totally different. Besides, for $29 or so....
Also, recently, my friend brought over his Real Tube overdrive (?) pedal. It was tan and had a built in AC adapter and a single tube inside. That sounded pretty cool.
Finally, I also recommend the bigger sized, older RAT distortion box from ProCo. I think they reissued it as the "Vintage Rat" or something. I've tried it through a MM and it sounded tasty.
Just my opine.
Regards,
LL
