All non-Boss, I'm afraid:

- Ibanez TS-9
- MXR GT-OD*
- (Keely) RAT*
- Big Muff

All are on my board, but *I use most

The main dirt comes from the crunch channel of my JCM 800, but I do use a Monte Allums modded SD-1 for both channels depending on the sound I want.

It's great for lead boosts in combination with echo from a DD-3, and also for a more compressed Metallica type sound.
It's also great in front of the clean channel to get that raw blues kind of lead sound.

on bass - i use either one or a combination of: HM2, MXR blowtorch, and DOD bass grunge ( although the MXR distortion 3, and Tone factor Cream Pie get used according to which bass i'm using!)

and on Guitar - Marshall Drivemaster, MXR ZW44 (based on an SD! i believe), and MXR distortion 3, and a DF2 for controlled feedback sounds.

Ah. Od/Distortion pedals... my not-so secret weakness.

What I have at present...

Akai G-Drive (newest addition...it's a distortion pedal with eight band pre and post distortion EQ)
Boss BD-2
Boss DS-2
Boss HM-2
Danelectro Fab Distortion
Danelectro French Toast Fuzz
DOD 250 Overdrive
Electro Harmonix Double Muff
Electro Harmonix Big Muff
Electro Harmonix English Muff'n
Exar SF-03 Super Fuzz
Home-made Germanium Fuzz
Hughes and Kettner Warp Factor
MXR Distortion III
Onerr TO-3 Drivemaster
Nobels ODR-1 Natural Overdrive

Can't think of a single one I don't like. The top three out of these is probably the HM-2, Exar and E-H Muff'n, but the other Boss pedals are by no means lightweights in this league.

I do miss my MXR Distortion +, and I definitely need to buy an Award Session JD10 ASAP (that's a real doozy, and very little known outside of the UK!).

Lovepedal COT 50.

I have at one point owned most of the Boss dirt pedals and sold off most of them. I still have and occasionally use a BD-2, DF-2, SD-2, and FZ-2. I also would like to add an early silver screw OD-1.

Of all the boss dirt boxes I'll like the SD-2 on lead mode the best.

However, on my board I use a crunchbox&blues pro from MI audio.

I use a Catalinbread Super-Charged Overdrive for the dirty stuff and Sogrado Polano Picoso for clean boost...but,I have a PW-2 and a SD-1 just so I don't seem so un-Bossy...

I had the PW-2 once, but it never made its way to my board. No wonder the production span was the shortest of any Boss pedal.

Although I swap distortion pedals around a lot, this BD-2,SD-1 combination is what I have on my board now and I like it a lot. The SD-1 cancels out the harshness of the BD-2 when used with humbuckers.
