Blues distortion pedal
Hey Guys
I like to play blues and was wondering if anyone knew of a blues distortion pedal that might be good to get preferably not the best top range price but not a crappy one either. If you could post a link to read more about it and maybe a pic that would be awesome!
Many thanks

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Bad Monkey is great. Check out the Danelectro FAB Distortion too - very cheaply built but with great tone.

Another vote for the Bad Monkey. A great blues OD pedal at a very reasonable price. If you're willing to poke around on eBay, you can find a nice used one for probably $25 - $30. The Behringer TO100 is great for the price (I got one brand new on eBay for $16 + shipping!), but it isn't as good as the Monkey, and I own both. If you wanted to spend as little as possible and still get a good OD pedal, the TO100 would fit the bill perfectly. But if you don't mind spending a bit more, the Bad Monkey is definitely superior. And it's built like a tank vs. the Behringer pedal's more fragile plastic construction.

Going rate at most of the big resellers is $50. But I just found it listed at Zzounds.com for only $40. Sweet deal!!:

It sounds like there are quite a few fans of the Bad Monkey... hard to go wrong when that many folks endorse a product they own.
I have the Boss OD pedal, and it's been nothing but great.

If you have the chance to look at one, it may be a good choice also.

I think this is more of a "specialty" pedal than what I would consider a true blues/rock overdrive. I wonder how many of the tones you'd really find useful, plus it costs $100. I think you already got your answer loud & clear here, based upon your originally stated desire for a moderately priced blues pedal.
