Are you talking out and out distortion or just plain old overdrive Mini?

If you are talking distortion then I still rate the MXR Distortion plus. It still does that 70's rock sound real good. I've heard the reissue Fuzz Face is pretty cool too with Denis Cornell updates.

Hi again,

Would have thought the MXR would do nicely but try first.

Small amp's...hmm I like the Laney LC15 or the Crate Vintage Club series. I think they do a 20w version. Both makes are all tube and sweet sounding and can be bought pretty cheap too.

Best upgrade you can do on a small amp is the speaker. Replace a cheapo speaker with something like a G12H or a Weber if it's a Fender style circuit.
