Perfect Distortion is one effect that most guitarists strive to achieve most of their lives. 

What Is Distortion? It's attained by taking a guitar sound and clipping it to give a high gain or distortion effect. Regular distortion effects tend to be less smooth that an Overdrive Distortion.  It's all in what your looking to achieve with your guitar sound.  Tube Distortion basically happens from overdriving or pushing the tubes in a tube guitar amp.  Distortion Pedals try to emulate different distortions through either solid state, tubes, or tube simulations.

How to Use A Distortion Effects Pedal?  See How to Hook Up an Effects Pedal.  Basically, when a song calls for a distortion effect you will tap the stomp box or distortion pedal to engage the distortion signal to effect your guitar sound.  Hit the pedal again to disengage the distortion effect.  It's that simple.

There are so many different distortion pedals to choose from, so it's really a matter of taste.  Think about what kind of distortion you want to achieve and find out how your favorite guitarists achieve this distortion.  Check out your guitar magazines or the internet and see what they are using.  Many famous guitarists have signature pedals to achieve their sounds as well.  Here are some Distortion Pedal Options to Research, Review, and Shop.  Good Luck on your Distortion Pedal Search.
