Nasty Dist. Pedal

[Dakine]

OK,
I have on order a HBE Big D but Joel seems to be swamped and it's gonna be 8 weeks getting to me
Any suggestions for somthing to get the "distortion monkey" off my back in the mean time?
Been thinking Line 6 Uber, or Boss pedal.
I don't wanna spend too much (not with the Big D coming) just somthing "for now".

Although, the Boss ME-50 looks interesting with ALL the effects it has.

Any opinions/advice please?

Cheers,
Nick

Hello

I bought recently a Wasabi Distortion (AX-1)...not bad for a pedal that costs only 60€.
It is "made in China" but it seems to be a good quality (metal box ...).
You have different voicings, a boost (5 or 10 dB), a delay ...

If you want to hear a demo : http://www.wasabitone.com/

I have used the Line 6 Uber, and it sounds heavier than lead! Plus it has a built in noise gate which is real handy. Plus they are not that expensive.

Well,
not cheapest solution but got GREAT deal.
Bought a Boss GT 8

If you want something cheap and cheerful (or they're cheap here at least - £40 for a marshall compared to £65 for a BOSS) grab a Marshall Guvnor or a Jackhammer. Suprisingly very well built too! Our vocalist has a Guvnor which I steal to take along with me for backup purposes whenever we hit the road and it's always been able to take a few beatings.

Well the Boss GT8 has the guvnor,proco rat amongst about 22 others inside so good to go

Colin,
why did you only have it for couple of days? Did'nt like it? Took it back? Borrowed it?

The GT8 is the only thing on the floor in front of me on stage.
Well, besides the King Kontroller, of course
