How to choose
Choose based on the gain level and style you want, from lighter overdrive to heavier distortion.
Beginner
A player wanting their first dedicated gain pedal can start with the FOD Overdrive/Distortion, which covers a broad range of gain in one unit. Keep the guitar's volume knob backed off slightly while testing pedal settings to hear the clean range first.
Intermediate
A player chasing a specific vintage tone can try the Distortion+ Randy Rhoads Special Edition, while someone wanting more modern gain can use the EVH 5150 Overdrive. Adjust pedal gain and level together so volume stays consistent when switching the pedal on and off.
Expert
An experienced player needing heavier tones for metal styles can rely on the M116 Fullbore Metal Distortion, tuning its gain and tone controls carefully to avoid an overly harsh top end. Test any distortion pedal through the actual amp and cabinet used live, since distortion character changes significantly with different rigs.
