Get rid of the dual and pick up another Orange amp with a clean/dirt channel and an FX loop.

I believe you can get a used 50w Rockerverb for not too much more than the new price of the Dual Terror. If you can't get the sound and features you need from your current amp, it makes much more sense, albeit more money to get a more suitable amplifier than to get a distortion pedal. I still highly suggest that Radial Hot British... tube distortion pedal with a modded Marshall sound, perfect for your AIC/Tool/etc needs.

You can run a delay in front of a distorted amp. It's not the optimal placement, but countless guitarists run their boards straight into the front input of an amplifier to simplify setup. Amplifier distortion is almost always more full sounding than pedals, so would you rather sacrifice delay tone and use the Dual Terror's distortion, or sacrifice on the distortion by using a pedal and getting better delays? Of course, I'm generalizing, and there are some pedals that sound fantastic, and most don't show much fault until cranking to band practice/gig volumes.[/quote]Spaceboy":frvrvws4 said:
But you here said that any distortion pedal lost power(?) at high volumes...
So maybe the best option is the rokerverb, but is too expensive for me now... Dual terror is like 455€, and rockerverb is 1500€, do you think i can get one for like 600/700€?
I'll check that pedal you're saying but favs for me until now are:
Krank distortus maximus (dont know the price)
Mad professor stone grey distortion

What I meant is that GENERALLY, distortion pedals don't sound as good as amplifier distortion. It's less noticeable at lower volumes, and there are better pedals out there that really sound great, but they will cost more. The Hot British is an example of a pedal that sounds great, and would be a good choice for the sounds you like. It sounds like you're determined to get a pedal, so the only thing left to do is buy/sell until you find the one that works for you.
I have no idea about European prices. The Dual Terror new is like 800 here (USD), and used Rockerverbs can be found a hair over 1000. Personally, if I spent 800 on an amplifier and then used a 200 dollar distortion pedal in front of it, I would rather sell the amp and spend 1000 on an amplifier that serves my needs. But, other people are really into pedals, so if that works for you, go for it.

Thank you very much!
The prices here are really different from there. There's a huge gap between the Dual terror and the rockerverb in europe.
However i'll try it anyway, maybe i'll fall in love and it will be tottaly worth it.
That pedal you said sounds great, but it's way too expensive (more than 300€).
I think i'm going to a Mad professor stone grey distortion (or to a clone of the 3 pedals mentioned) or if i like the rockerverb save some money to it.
