No they aren't distortion pedals.  They boost your original tone more or less..

Re: Distortion?

He had a stock standard Tube Screamer on his board during his Oz tour.  Rest of it would have come from the Marshalls I'm guessing...

Re: Distortion?

Joe does use a Fuzz face like on John Henry.  I think that could be classified as a distortion pedal.

Best regards

Re: Distortion?

He has two different overdrive pedals, and a fuzz.  I'm thinking he uses the overdrives to goose his signal through the overdrive he already gets from his amps. 

Fuzz is different from distortion because of the lack of mid-range.  I don't know what Joe's custom made Fuzz Face does about mids.  I have a Diamond Fireburst Fuzz pedal that has a switch for a mids boost, which turns it into distortion.
