Joyo Chopper Z Distortion Pedal.
This is a modern distortion pedal that is really versatile. Firstly, it just has some great tones, seriously killer!
The 3 band EQ is pretty powerful with enough range to accommodate any guitar; there is absolutely loads of gain, and also a Fat Boost switch to get just a bit more push to your amp, and tighten up that rhythm chug.
As with any distortion pedal, it can get a bit noisy - but no fear! - there's a built in noise gate, which is such a sensible and clever addition.
The best thing about this though is the way Joyo have incorporated 3 different Output Modes - Pre Amp, Power Amp and Cab Sim.
When in Pre Amp Mode, just use it as a normal distortion pedal - straight into your amp. When in Power Amp Mode, go straight into a power amp. So this would be most likely into the effects loop of your amp, or into a dedicated power amp as I do in the video below.
