I want something that will help me in the kitchen. You know, something that will make toast, filter coffee, fry eggs, and wash dishes. One of "those".
In some respects, one distortion is simply another one with some changes. At another level, the different sounds you seek can involve different processes that require about as much as a second pedal would require. Just make yourself a couple of different ones in one box (they usually don't take up much room) and switch between them.
