Zoom G2.1u Guitar Effects pedal info

so basically im pretty limited to stuff that is over 400$ to get good tone hey....too bad it isnt a good pedal, as it is a very good price. Thanks for your input guys!

I play every wednesday at my school, and I usually just plug into the PA system with my current fx pedal and it is breaking down on me. I guess its better to save and get something worthwile thanks again.

oh, just to add, what I am mainly interested in is distortion...so like different distortions. Should I just get like a boss DS1 or something? I would be running the pedals straight into a PA system right.
