I am stuck between these two distortion pedals and I was wondering which do you guys think is more worth it based on price? I like all of the sounds so I am not asking your opinion on the sound, but I'll still post sound clips.

Compulsive Audio Sustained Fury - $285.00

or

SansAmp Classic - $250.00

YouTube

or

HT Dual 2-Channel - $250.00

YouTube

The reason why I am looking at such high-quality distortion pedals is because my new VHT Amp doesn't really get crunch out of it, but I get a lot of great clean tones. The amp is specifically made to accept pedals, so I am looking at getting something more like the second or third one I posted, something I can get a LOT of different sounds out of, and not just one distortion sound.

I like the sans-amp, but distortions are a personal taste thing. :)

True, but the best part of the SansAmp is I could get so many different sounds out of it and discover many different tones that I like.

BTW, Thanks for the input!

never used any of those pedals youve listed, but the blaclstar range is generally awesome. and valve pedals hold their value better later on too

I agree with Spirograph, of the 3 that you have linked i prefer the Blackstar, in general, i prefer the DS-2 by Boss or the DF-2 by boss.

Are you not considering the Sans'Amp GT2?
