SMG Poll: What is the Best Distortion Effects Pedal?

Modtone Extreme Metal.

Very simple/tweakable/affordable pedal. From every stomps i had in hands, this is really my pick of the bunch!
Handles a huge amount of different sounds.

Personally, I’d take a Fuzz Face over any of these, even for overdrive tones by turning down your guitar volume.

NONE my 6505+ ‘s distortion works better than any pedal I ever used plus sounds better in a real live situation, less tinny messiness

The Boss MT-2, Metal Zone. Very versatile.

I like the original Pro Co Rat II from the 80′s. But, I am partial to the YJM 308. I run it in front of my Carvin and use it to boost my leads. Puts just enough “hair” on the notes.

I find the Jeckel @ Hyde by Sound & Vision to be very versitile and meets all my needs. I have to vote for this one!
