I've personally never got on with the ubiquitious Boss DS-1, so originally started with the reissue MXR Distortion +. I later moved to the (handmade) Whirlwind Gold Box (modern features; true bypass/LED) before eventually finding a 79/80 model. It's impractical, it's inconvenient (no 9v power, no LED etc.) but it's a different kettle of fish and 'that' 70's tone. It's got the brightness/high mid that I liked about the reissue vs. other Distortion circuits but another level of tone and warmth. This is my holy grail distortion sound.
