    Default Help me choose a distortion, folks!

    Ladies and gentlemen, I need a distortion. Have been playing such tasteful music through my Mooer, but it's time I heard something to melts the Devils heart.

    I love the Bogner uberschall sound, but*I only want to spend about 50 quid new or used. So that's out of the question! I was thinking of a Mooer cruncher, Mooer ultra drive, Satchurator, jekyl and Hyde, son of Hyde, chainsaw distortion... There are so many, and they all sound excellent. It's up to you lot to help push me in a direction! So long as it lets me do some tight riffage and nicely smooth, fat leads with enough sustain for gilmour, I just need character.

    Good luck on mission impossible I'm currently leaning towards the Satchurator for the more switch. Anything else have this style feature?

    Joyo US Dream...clone of the rather wonderful (but expensive) Suhr Riot.

    i'm guessing the suhr riot clone would be the thing. Joyo does a clone and i think mooer has a clone coming out soon. I haven't tried either. I haven't tried the cruncher, but i've tried the joyo clone of the crunch box, and it's much more hot rod marshally than the modern high gain ueberschall thing.

    Rat might also be worth considering, too- the mooer black secret is a clone (and also has the switch to go between, i assume, diode and LED clipping so you basically have a rat and turbo rat in one).

    Oh man, rats sound awesome too, as does the Mooer rat thing (Mooer really nailed it..) . Do they do the palm muted tight shizzle? If so, it's a head to head against the us dream, Satchurator and ultra drive.

    The Satchurator is a mod DS1 type thing IIRC so they are probably quite similar. DS1s are funny beasts they sound great into some amps and bloody horrible into others. I would say they definitely sound very distortiony and not very ampy. It's the classic Vai type sound.

    RATs are great, but again they sound like a distortion pedal not like a high gain amp.
