Yes, you should never waste your time trying to use two separate distortions despite certain joke threads you may have seen here (not that you shouldn't experiment for yourself, but generally speaking it will be a total disaster). If you use pedal distortion, run your amp clean. Currently I do not have a tube amp and my Digitech RP-10 has better distortion than my Marshall VS100 amp, so the amp is clean. The vast majority of all guitar amp distortions only sound good at high volume, so around the house you are better off with a pedal.
