That's interesting. I usually hear positive things about the ZW OD. That being said, the correct answer is SBN Lil' Eagle.

Right, I knew that. Should've clarified. My bad.

If you're on a budget I'd go one thing at a time. Unless you're into doing some songwriting and you need to get ideas down fast I'd put money towards the pedal-board first.

There's some nice pedals out there. A GREAT sounding pedal is the Jekyll & Hyde from Visual Sound.



You can check it out on YouTube and here for sound samples:
http://www.visualsound.net/index.php...v2_jekyll_hyde

I was nearly completely set on buying one till I decided I definitely wanted a tube tone. With God's grace I found a Mesa Boogie V-twin pre-amp which is miles apart from using a pedal. However if there were no tube preamp options, I'd say this killer pedal from Visual Sound is really hard to beat. It's extremely versatile and comes with over-drive and distortion. It'll cover more territory than most pedals I've encountered.

Actually the correct answer would be the Lil' Eagle's big brother... And a BDAB.
