Should I even buy a distortion pedal for my guitar

Question

Ive been playin guitar for like a year and a half. And I love my amp. You maybe can gig with it but you can totally rock out on it. I have also been taking lessons for my short guitar life, but im not that serious about playing. I play like 40 minutes every day, but I dont want to lead my job into guitar. My amp has all contols I can get. Gain, Overdrive, Treble, Middle, Bass. The Distortion sounds awesome amp alone. Does the distortion pedal make disortion better. If so what kind should I get. And is a chorus pedal worth buying

Answer 1

First poster is absolutely right.  

It really all depends on what you play though.  I really use my chorus pedal because I play a lot of songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and John rocks out with his.  If anything go for a Crybaby Wah pedal because that sound is extremely unique, and some songs can't be played without it, whereas songs can be played and sound alright without a chorus pedal.

Answer 2

I don't think you need it, if there isn't a particular OD sound you are looking for. Save the money.
