    i currently hav the Zoom505 II which i hate like hell !!! makes too much ****in humm an buzz.......... very weak distortion.....

    so i was wondering if a stompbox wuld be better.... i dont need a **** load of effects or amp simulations....... just need a powerful ballz to the wallz tone !

    im thinking of gettin an Digitech Death metal......... suggest me any good 1...... below 5k....

    PS: IT SHULD NOT buzz .... humm or whatever

    Do you have an amp (I'm not talking about a stranger )?
    cause without one a pedal will be useless....

    yeah, u need a good amp, preferably a tube amp...but yes stomp boxes have a more organic distortion and are much more "inspirational" to play

    Well, buzz and hum depends more on the guitar and the amp...my Digitech RP300A and Marshall MG10CD amp give a huge load of feedback and noise if I perk up the gain to even level 10/100...but only when used with my semi-electric. My other guitar (Tansen, unknown model, has two humbuckers) handles gain perrrfectly...
    And the lower end zooms are a piece of s***s. But if you have a choice between processor or stompbox, I'd say go for a good processor with a price range of 10k onwards (semi professional) or 20k onwards (professional mothers of processors o.o)
    A processor gives you the optimized workings of loads of combinations of amplifiers (simulated) and stompboxes...having that amount of stompboxes would just be an unneccesary inconvenience >.>
    However...
    ...or so some people say.

    Well, if you want a good distortion, and own a stranger, I would say go for an AMT pedal or (though its not in your range) The Sansamps. They have a built in decent amp sims.

    P.S: Got an AMT FAtal Tube for sale. 4.5K(Including shipping).

    @NoneSoVile: I dun think you can get a tonebone at a retail store. BTW, I love em, more than the MI Crunch box.
