The A136 is the more warm than the A137. Also all the vactrol based
modules sound nice if they are overdriven.

But I have to admit, that a simple guitare stompbox often sounds better.
I use a Ibanez TS10, a Alesis Bitrman (in this case not the "bitr" part,
but simply the distortion) and the tubedistortion emulation in a
Dynacord DRP15.

The basic trick for any kind of distortion is: don't modulate the
distortion-module itself, but modulate the level and the frequency
spectrum of the signal which is then fed into the distortion.
