I want to buy a distortion/overdrive pedal but I'm not sure what to get.
Here's my perdicament:
I have a 5 watt Fender tube amp with just one channel. I want a pedal where I can set my amp for clean and engage the pedal for distortion, not real thick distortion though, just enough for a crunch but not so much that chords are all muddy.
The pedals I'm looking at are the Boss DS-1 or the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer. I'm thinking the TS9 but IDK. If anyone has any opinions on other pedals I'd like to hear them.
For an example of the sound I'm looking for, listen to anything by the group Paramore.
(Seriously if anyone out there like punk listen too Paramore they're REALLY good.)
