1. What is the difference between a distortion and an overdrive effects pedal?
2. Should I get a distortion or overdrive for my first effects pedal?



Answer
An overdrive pedal will boost the gain without adding distortion while a Distortion pedal can boost the gain and add distortion depending on the setting.

If you like a clean sound with a little raw sound and a slightly dirty sound, get an overdrive. If you like a little distortion and gain, get a Distortion.
