    i have finally decided to hang up my auwl multi effects unit and progress onto a selection of stomp boxes but my first thing causing me trouble is i cant decide on a distortion and overdrive pedal.im playing a les paul through an avt100.i was looking for a nice warm but chunky distortion, was gonna go with a russian muff and maybe an overdrive.any suggestions as to good distortions

    Chuck Schuldiner used a Boss DS-1 through a Marshall AVT150, and he got a suprisingly good sound out of it.

    I have a boss ds2 and its quite nice. You dont really hear it properly until you crank it up loud.

    Actually, saving up for a better amp would probably be a good idea.

    i hate the line6 pedals purely because they look like they are made of lego.i know a new amp would be the ideal way to go but my next step is a half stack and i dont have that kind of money.unless i could sell my avt100....anyone interested??

    Have you ever felt a Line 6 Tone Coe Dimerocks? They're solid chunks of metal!

    TBH, pop into Music Maker and try the Line 6 pedals. There's a couple of different distortion boxes that are really good.
