You can adjust it to make sound like almost anything. You can set just over halfway on the tone knob, to get a metal distortion. Also, David Gilmour uses it. wink

Rhoads I personally prefer certain amp distortions to pedals neutral In tube amps, they have amazing distortion when the tubes are saturating. However in solid states, I really prefer to have pedals, and maybe to occasionally use the amp disortion ready in case I feel like change. wink

It would be pointless to put a pedal on mine it has multiple effects on it's own and adding extra distorition would just mess it up.

Well generally, you don't use a dist pedal at the same time as amp dist. Having them both on at the same time sounds like crap. I think effects in the amp are only worth using if there is a switch where you can turn them off via a floor switch, otherwise they can be pretty useless in a gig situation.

I get some kickass harmonics with my BD-2 cranked up alongside some of my amps distortion, but it makes the signal hot as a ********. Everytime your skin scrapes the strings it makes a loud sound xD

I think having a pedal is important.
Just because your amp has it's own distortion channel, doesn't mean it's going to sound good. Amp distortion often is not very good, some amps don't overdrive enough to get a good distortion, let alone any at all. Using amp distortion is unpractical for gigging if you need to be switching between distortion and clean, which often, you will need to do.
Depending on music you want to play, a pedal might be essential. ie I listen to some folk metal, and often there is alot of switching between clean/distorted, and there are alot of dominant clean parts of songs.
I'm getting my first pedal this week biggrin
