I just maily go off of amp distortion. Tell you the truth I do not even have a overdrive or distortion on my pedalboard at the moment. I do have a Ibanez TS808 that I sometimes use along with a Fulltone OCD and a Way Huge Pork Loin. The Pork Loin is my fave out of the group. It has a lot of EG settings I can play with.
