Rock ’n’ roll wouldn’t exist without distortion. Where guitarists used to crank their amps to the high heavens, there are now hundreds if not thousands of stompboxes to do the job – which is why a distortion pedal is often a beginner’s first-ever effects unit and a pro’s Holy Grail.
但这也意味着不可能定居是不可能的，并且确定周围的“最佳失真踏板”成为一种口味问题。对于金属，摇滚和蓝调的“宽开”音调，工作室工作的强大前置放大器盒以及一些荒野和噪音音乐家会喜欢的荒野。您会在此列表中找到所有这些。
JHS PG-14
Developed in a special collaboration between JHS and the shred-maestro turned blues-aficionado, Paul Gilbert. This pedal is a FET-based distortion that’s designed to pack tones from a mild overdrive all the way to tube amp on-the-brink.
很容易打折JHS PG-14as a ‘shreddier’ tube screamer – but there’s some real dirt to be found within this gem, thanks in part to its two most unique features: a mid-frequency preamp for intense tone sculpting, and a push knob that kicks in amp break-up characteristics.

TC电子暗物质
这TC电子暗物质是一个马歇尔的plexi启发的失真盒，它跨越了吉米·亨德里克斯（Jimi Hendrix）的原始，纯净的吉米·亨德里克斯（Jimi Hendrix），再到电动巫师最糟糕的石膏即兴演奏。无论您拨打什么设置，Stompbox都会提供一种自然，响应和清晰的音调，可捕捉您的演奏风格，疣和所有内容。
这Dark Matter, according to TC Electronic, is meant to sit between heavy overdrive and light distortion. At lower gain levels, it emulates those old-school classic rock tones that issue out of cranked-up tube amps. But push the dirt up, flick the voice switch, and you’re well into crunchy modern rock territory. Many players have also found the Dark Matter’s ‘open-ness’ and responsiveness work well when fed into a higher-gain device.
就像任何良好的失真踏板一样，这个黑匣子很容易操作。您需要使用的所有拨盘是两个主动EQ控件（低音和高音），增益和一个级别旋钮。
零售价为$ 48.99/€45。
Mesa Boogie节气门盒
忠于加利福尼亚品牌的遗产，the Throttle Boxrevels in scorching high-gain distortion. The slim stompbox is designed for rock and metal while promising the ‘natural’ quality that Mesa’s amps are famed for.
它的控件讲述了整个故事。除了通常的收益，水平和音调外，中切割旋钮还可以使您sc起中距离 - 逆时针方向越远，EQ曲线的“ V”形越多。和与增益电路集成的LO/HI开关可调节饱和度：CRUNCH的LO，HI用于金属节奏和灼热的独奏。
That isn’t to say the Throttle Box lacks versatility. The pedal has a wide gain range, going from mild, blues-friendly tones to a mid-gain distortion suitable for most styles of rock all the way to full-on saturation for metal. There’s even a Boost DIP switch within the enclosure that you can flick off to reduce the low end and gain.

Fender Compugilist
这Fender Compugilist占用已经很棒的一半pugilist失真，并添加一个方便的压缩机。这种新的组合非常适合实现狡猾的驱动音调，非常适合热蓝色果酱或飙升的融合铅。
With both effects independently switchable, this stompbox is a dual board solution. The compressor is highly functional – though never overwhelming. You’ll find standard compressor controls here for recovery, compression amount and output level. A nifty gain reduction indicator also tells you when compression kicks in, helping you dial in just the right amount to achieve the response you’re looking for.

纳米学C4失真
Put two PhD researchers in nanotechnology to work on a distortion pedal, and you’ll get纳米学C4。这种创新的设备通过提供三种不同的声音来鼓励实验：硅，无裂纹和纳米学自己的碳纤维滑动电路。后者的质地与硅基驱动器具有完全不同的质地 - 它的效果立即更加顺畅，谐波富含谐波，更自然的声音，并且能够达到高增益水平而不会被压缩和微小。

Fredric Effects Verzerrer
Fredric Effects’ Verzerrer是一个奇怪的人。Bohm Trickverzerrer的娱乐活动，据说是东德唯一出生的失真。它产生的刺耳而磨碎的音调可能不会立即令人愉悦。但是，有一些历史课可以真正欣赏其素质。
Rock and roll was for the most part – frowned upon in East Germany. And If you were a budding young rocker – you were hard pressed to just pop into the cornershop and pick up a new Fuzz Face. Instead what you might have gotten was a Bohm Trickverzerrer.
A somewhat forgotten piece of gear from music’s history, the Fredric Effects edition of the pedal modernises the original’s primitive design. It’s housed in a more standard enclosure – while keeping the original diodes and transistors to call itself a faithful recreation of a pedal born out of the necessity to rock.

KHDK Dark Blood
This devilish-looking box bears Kirk Hammett’s stamp of approval, so you know its true calling: metal. “I plug it in when I want an over-the-top sound that dominates everything. It’s a tornado,” read the Metallica man’s words that run front-and-centre onthe Dark Blood’s product page。
他不是在开玩笑。踏板是一种侵略性的野兽，将MOSFET和固态设计结合在一起，提供了曲柄放大器的音调和动力，并将许多MIDS投入到混合物中。
电路的前端甚至还增加了三倍的助推阶段，还有一个控制距离前等式的末日旋钮。后者对低端响应进行了调整 - 与LO/HI开关和噪声门一起使用，从棕榈密定的即兴演奏到哭泣的独奏。
零售价为229.95美元。
地震设备Acapulco Gold V2
地震设备的Acapulco黄金可能是“一个技巧小马”的终极体现，但是当您的小马是基于曲柄的Sunn Model T的增压PowerAmp失真时，似乎并不是所有的东西。
这ridiculously oversized knob that makes up the Acapulco Gold’s entire control section sets its output level – and it does get stupid loud. The trick to taming the beast lies in controlling your guitar’s volume knob. Turn it all the way up to deliver doom-inspired cranked tube tones, or back it almost all the way off for tight Nashville-esque twang.

Revv扩增G3失真
G3失真以踏板格式将我们喜欢的Revv Amplification 100和120的紫色频道塞满了我们喜欢的一切。从范·哈伦（Van Halen）到上帝的羔羊，它将涵盖各种风格。
Controls on this elegant purple unit are not much of a surprise. It has a three-band EQ, volume and gain knobs, and an Aggression toggle switch. The latter control is where things get interesting. With Aggression set to ‘blue’, the distortion delivered opens up into a more throaty roar. Flick it to ‘red’ however, it becomes a lot more… well, aggressive. It’s immediate, heavy and handles down-tuned riffs like it was built to.
根据Revv Amplification的创始人Dan Trudeau的说法，G3扭曲的声音进行了16次修订，这肯定表明。

ThorpyFX Warthog
Adrian Thorpe’s pedals have rapidly acquired a reputation for rigorous build quality and
monster tones, and the Warthog might be the most uncompromising of the lot. Effectively Thorpe’s take on the classic ProCo RAT,the Warthog采取那些神话般的超速驾驶式音调，但抛弃了老鼠过度压缩的反应，这意味着您有可能在现场演奏时会消失。取而代之的是，您会在桶中获得原始，大声和令人讨厌的岩石色调，这将留下90年代的替代摇滚迷
wishing they’d owned one in 1994.

1981 Inventions DRV
这DRVis the brainchild of Matt Hoopes and Jon Ashley from 1981 Inventions and Bondi Effects respectively. What started out as a 1985 Whiteface ProCo Rat was developed by the pair over the course of four years. The result: a hand wired distortion pedal that’s a cut above the rest.
Elegant in both design and operation, the DRV’s controls – which are similar to that of a Rat’s – consist of just three knobs: a drive control, which adjusts gain, a cut, which is a filter, and an output volume knob. Key to the DRV’s appeal is how each of these controls satisfyingly play off each other.
从类似Vox的钟声到不掩盖复杂和弦的深度饱和的音调，在这个踏板中可以找到很多音调深度。总而言之，DRV在保持几乎类似AMP的响应的同时提供了出色的驱动器。

Redbeard Effects Red Mist MK IV
Skindred’s Mikey Demus was searching for the be-all end-all solution to his live rig conundrum: how to attain distortion that truly chugs, regardless of the amp. After approaching Adrian Thorpe of ThorpyFX, the two embarked on a partnership that led to the creation of the红色雾MK IV。
这红色雾MK IVoffers gain for days, producing heavy distorted tones that are especially tight in the bottom end. Its EQ knobs are immensely flexible – with the mid control offering some of the pedal’s crazier sounding tones when set at either extreme. At zero the mids almost completely disappear, and at maximum – the pedal starts to self-oscillate, producing feedback screeches like something more commonly found in a Death By Audio pedal.

Keeley Filaments
基利设计了他们细丝踏板to be a high-gain all rounder, using a completely analogue circuit to provide all manner of tube-inspired nasty. Chugging metal rhythms and searing hot leads lie within this pedal’s reach. If you’re looking for a heavy distortion pedal that offers flexible tone shaping, this might be the one.
为了帮助您雕刻理想的音调，踏板采用了六个EQ参数。使用可开关的模式：提升，明亮和紧缩，您可以快速改变开关闪烁时细丝的个性。而且最令人惊讶的是，它即使在高输出处也保持安静的噪声底。

Walrus Audio Red
海象音频的红色is all about achieving saturated high-gain tones that blanket your entire practice space. With the help of its three-knob EQ section, the Red offers a plethora of heavy distortion tones – spanning stoner rock to blackgaze. That said, it’s also really capable at handling more classic rock type sounds.
纹理开关使您可以在两个不同的剪辑二极管之间进行选择，以进行更压缩的音调（理想的铅弹奏）或位于超速驱动器的热侧的更开放的声音。

Boss DS-1
Over 30 years in production, an unchanged build, and used by the likes of Kurt Cobain and Steve Vai –the Boss DS-1is the granddaddy of distortion pedals. Tone, level and distortion are all the controls you’ll find on the DS-1. No matter where you set them, the pedal maintains its tight, compressed and bold voice. That said, it’s still capable of a little variance, if only in the world of rock. Achieving the grungy powerchords from Nirvana’s closet or the creamy licks of Steve Vai is a matter of tweaking the tone and distortion knobs.
对于初学者来说，DS-1也是一个实用的选择，他们的第一步进入了艰巨的踏板宇宙。而不是因为它负担得起。从声音上讲，DS-1是众所周知的 - 几乎是众所周知的 - 高压较高，它以更多的收益掩盖了您的技术错误，从而较少详细，但最终更加声音。无论好坏，它都可以帮助您对语气感觉更好，尤其是当您刚开始时。
零售价为$ 49.99/£42。
MXR M75 Super Badass Distortion
Here’s a straightforward distortion pedal whose strong points are its simplicity, versatility and all-round musicality. With its powerful active EQ section – bass, mids and trebles – dialling in a sound to suit your needs is easy, whether you’re after scooped metal or wide-open blues tones.
这Super Badass也有广泛的增益范围。保持畸变低和高输出，踏板调情以增强色调。但是，打开以前的旋钮，您会添加饱和度和紧缩。它可能是DS-1的价格的两倍，但要使用EQ，尤其是MIDS旋钮，您会发现这些额外的美元值得。
零售价为$/£100。
旧血噪声努力多余
这旧血噪声努力多余takes the unctuous 80s concoction of chorus and distortion, and sends it through a haunted eight-track. It’s a distortion plus chorus/echo that’s capable of producing ambient washes, resonant filter-esque gurgles and other experimental sounds.
您可以在扭曲后的合唱和倾斜延迟之间进行选择，并并行运行或独立效果。合唱具有可编辑的速率和深度参数，以及时间和反馈的延迟。后者最多可达125毫秒，尽管它不会产生无尽的反馈，但却属于振荡的吐痰范围。
With the chorus or echo set at tame levels and stacked after the distortion, you can nail those lush tones from the 80s. Running both sides in parallel, however, creates a more multi-textured effect, depending on how much modulation/delay and dirt you sum out.
Retails at $199/€212.
DOD Gunslinger
What you see is what you get with theDOD Gunslinger– a no-nonsense MOSFET distortion pedal that offers thick and snappy drive. Simple to operate, the pedal features four controls: gain, volume, and low and high knobs for shaping your EQ. The pedal operates on 9V, though you can run it on 18V for an increased headroom. It’s a nice touch, and helps this pedal stay board friendly. The fact that you’re likely to run into these used for less than $50 is also an added plus.
零售价为100美元。
Strymon Riverside
忠实于史林，不仅仅是他们的眼睛Riverside多阶段失真。主控件足够简单 - 增益和水平，一个三波段等式以及两个开关以控制增益结构和频率推动。但是真正重要的是在其引擎盖下。
Riverside将模拟JFET电路的动态灵敏度与自定义DSP的控制，以产生响应良好，丰富的失真。来自此A Meets D方法的细微差别是足够的。它允许踏板使用“连续可变电路调整” - 这意味着增益旋钮具有选择理想声音而不是找到理想声音的广泛“最佳点”。

挡泥板MTG管失真
顾名思义，MTG管失真是一个由管子驱动的污垢盒。它是与Egnater放大名望的Amp Guru Bruce Egnater合作设计的。简而言之，这个stomper就像您的放大器从未知道的粉丝频道一样。
除了三带EQ外，MTG还为您提供了“紧密”控制，该控制有助于在更高的增益水平下塑造底端。它还具有具有独立水平和增益控件的脚踏开关提升。在电路中包含的管子中，MTG传递的失真比您从常规盒子中预期的更圆。增益水平从中等到高，但是这个踏板不仅是叛徒。
随着中间的备份，并降到了10点钟大约，它会让您度过那些充满灵魂的数字。前面提到的升压电路也使该踏板具有附加的有用性，其独立控件使您可以决定要添加多少体积和强度。
