Re: Good distortion pedal

I used to use a Boss SD-1 pedal which gives a good warm overdrive. Lately I've been playing around with a Dunlop Fuzz Face. It's a recent release where they worked out a few bugs and it actually sounds more like the original. Definately a good pedal if you want to play with a Jimi Hendrix type fuzz sound. I like it, anyway. The only catch is that I only have a solid state practice amp with an 8" speaker, which sounds decent at a certain volume range, but otherwise I think it loses a little of the sound. That's regardless of what's on my pedal board. This summer I'd like to get a real amp. I've been thinking about a few different tube amps. I keep wanting to try a Fender '65 Twin Reverb, but I'm not sure why. I haven't really gone out and tried anything yet. Metal is definately not my thing. I'm going after more of a bluesy rock sound. Any amp recommendations?
