Another winner from MXR
I have used other distortion pedals, but this is by far my favorite. I had one for many, many years and when it finally fell apart, I got myself another one without hesitation. It is easy to control the amount you want and goes from just slightly gritty to out and out distortion heaven! Built like a tank, like all the MXRs (as you can see, I have several)

I absolutely love it.
Great Green Day/Weezer-y tones, and great on both guitar and bass. My favorite distortion so far.

It's just crazy stuff
love this lotion because it can become just mad and unmanageable and tear up everything that sees and hears and creates utter madness

A good an easy distortion pedal
A really good and easy to use distortion pedal. Sold because I'm saving for a helix.

Good but not for Metal
I used this as booster and is really good.

Nice
Its sounds more like a mixture between a fuzz and an overdrive, the sound is perfect for rock and it works nice with reverbs for solos, but you won´t play the hard stuff with it.

The Minion
I use this to saturate my tone, it also acts like a treble booster, works as I want.

Great Pedal
This is a great standard distortion pedal. This isn't a low gain pedal and isn't a fuzz and doesn't go crazy like overdrive. So to say this pedal is great for distortion. This is also a nice simple and not too costly pedal. But I also like pedals that I can tweak around with a lot, this pedal doesn't offer too much of that (with only having an output and distortion knob), this clearly isn't the pedal for that but if you need a good simple distortion pedal this is the one to get.

Blister Free
This is the perfect distortion pedal. It doesn't take away from the the tone of the amp – only adds to it.

Description
The MXR M-104 DISTORTION + Guitar Pedal can be set to produce low volume controllable distortion or increased to achieve a warm tube overdrive. Maxed out the MXR M-104 Pedal produces an extreme fuzz with long sustain.
Tearing it up!
This is a great sounding distortion pedal. I use it with my X0xb0x to tear up my Acid bass lines. It adds a lot of lovely nastiness and energy. I love it!
try a proco rat too.... the lowly DS1 is also killer with a 303, but I'm very much a rat guy when it comes to acid lines... the 'filter' is the ebst tone control going for separating multiple 303 layers without the need for a ton of EQ
