Distortion pedal advice
I might start playing with a rockabilly/honky tonk rock band, and I think that the steel would fit their sound better with a little distortion. I want something that's fairly smooth sounding to run through my Vibrolux Reverb. I also can't afford anything very expensive. Any suggestions? Thanks

John,
after serveral other units i now use the Korg Tonworks AX3G.
This cheap plastic pedal has everything I need for a gig.
I've made me some presets with very little overdrive, just enough to make the steel sound fat and agressive. Delay and Tremolo are also welcome for one or two songs per gig. Built in tuner and AA batteries.
IMHO the overdrive sounds only good with a tube amp.

Digitech Bad Monkey has been getting favorable reviews. It was a little too smooth for me, but i liked (and bought) the Screamin' Blues, which is another Digitech pedal that was developed the same time as the Monkey. Try them both. They're at Guitar Center.
I also agree about the JD-10 being a great box. It is a larger thing to carry around though.
