Who would you say was the primary songwriter in Black Flag (and please miss a letter off the end of his name)?

these 2 pedals make me smile more than anything, even if I'm using guitars or synths.

For some reason I was never that interested in the MXR Distortion II(Possibly because I am an idiot and thought it must have something to do with the Boss DS2) But it really is a great overdrive for people like me who care not about overdrives.

I'd never realised that it was a distortion2 and not a distortion+. I always assumed it was a + that Mike had added a treble and bass control to. I might have to look at this again. I love the muff side, but never really got on with the distortion side, perhaps because I was trying to use it like a + instead of really exploring it on its own terms.

Something to do tomorrow, then...

I would recommend leaving the resonance down if you are using it like a overdrive and only use the resonance if pushing the muff. Least that is how it works best with my setup.

On topic - I always thought it was a Dist + too. My pedals back in the early 90s were an old Dist+ and a DOD classic fuzz (a Muff copy) and it wasn't a long way from Siamese Dream toenz.

I always meant to demo this with my Lace Sensor strat and the Amplitube JCM.
