Battle of the Distortion Pedals

I'm lucky to own a variety of awesome distortion pedals, each with their own character and tonal elements. This isn't meant to be a comparison. It's more about playing what I'm inspired to play based on the sound I get from each pedal. I hope you enjoy!

List of pedals used

Keeley Filaments
Wampler Dracarys
Seymour Duncan Palladium
Xvive Golden Brownie
Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe
Mooer Ultra Drive MKII
Empress Effects Heavy
