The Culture Vulture looks great & incredibly versitile, but is more than I want to spend on a distortion unit right now.

I've tried a few stompboxes like the Big Muff & ProCo Rat, but didn't get what I was looking for (Muff was a bit too smooth - nice tone though.....Rat did not retain enough of the original signal - didn't sound too bad when mixed with the original signal).

I'm going to try a few more guitar units as well as micing an amp, as many have suggested. If that doesn't do it for me, I may have to shell out more that I had originally planned.....(Sherman, TL, etc.....sh*t that Thermionic looks sexy!).

Damn - It's expensive being a perfectionist, with an addictive personality, into quality sounding gear!

Thanks again for the suggestions.
