Sorry--Boss crap alert: I absolutely LOVE my Boss HM-2 distortion pedal.
It's the only pedal I have that always sounds good. To give you context, the
other distortion pedals I own are a Boss DS-2 (eh, not so great for me) and
a Sovtek EH Big Muff Pi (too freakin' noisy).
That being said, I already have a HM-2, and I never considered a distortion
module for a high-end modular. Instead, I would welcome a module that, among
other things, allows the input to be overloaded for distortion--or am I just
saying I want a preamp (I don't know a lot about "professional"
distortion...)?
My vote is no distortion on the preamp as stated below.
David.
