I've got a TC Electronics BLD (Booster Line Driver) pedal that I've had for several years. I guess I'd say that the pedal doesn't have what I'd term a raging distortion sound but more of a lighter type of disto tone. Not my favorite tone, but... The pedal also has a "boost mode" where I've used it as a boost pedal since it's got a fairly decent eq and a really nice noise gate built into it. The threshold for the gate is adjustable by a small rotating pot on the surface of the pedal. There's also level / bass / treble / and distortion controls. It's also got an XLR out connector which is the only pedal I've ever seen that in before. It also has a neat feature where when you first step on the footswitch the LED is at full brightness and it then gradually dims to nothingness - to conserve batteries! I don't use it all that much since my Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp is a bit better at handling input signals. Another sick pedal I have is an early issue MXR Blue Box - if you compress it just right with the right EQ it sounds like an extremely lardaceous and corpulent mini moog! By itself it's really obnoxious. I also have a Boss Octave divider, as well as a DD-3 delay. Oh! Can't forget the borrowed Ibanez SF-3 Swell Flanger - if you find one, get one - it's a sick and amazing pedal!
