Cheap Distortion Pedals?
I have been playing for like 3 days, and I love the sound a distortion pedal puts out,
What is the cheapest brand? I am pretty sucky at guitar right now so I don't want a good one...
I found this one:
electricroom.com.au/product/Danelectro/Bacon+N+Eggs+Guitar+Effects+Pedal
Any others?

If $50 isn't too much I recommend getting a Korg AX3G. It has a range of distortion effects that cover every use. The quality of the effects are very good, and it includes various delay, reverb, modulation, compression, wah, and filter functions. I can provide a few samples if you are interesting in hearing what it sounds like.

The Danelectro "Fab" pedals are actually pretty good, and only cost $15. Cheap investment.

I own this one. It has every effect you can think of, plus a drum machine. You can buy it at most music stores if you don't want to go online. For $60 you can't beat it. I paid a extra $10 and got the one with the pedal (RP-80). The pedal controls the volume in most modes, and tweaks the effects in some of the others.

If you want a cheap distortion pedal that a lot of the best use, get a Boss DS-1. Satriani, Malmsteem etc have used this pedal and it's been rated one of the top 50 pedals of all time. I got mine for under 40 USD new.

I agree completely. They have 3 (the D-1 distortion, D-2 overdrive, and D-3 metal), of which I've owned the first two. If you're looking for something mild to moderate, either the D-1 or D-2 will probably do the trick. The D-1 sounds a bit flatter, the D-2 has a little tube-like peak in the mids. Fantastic deal for $15, either way.
