It allready has distortion. Listen to the clips. But yes you can use effects, alot of people are using them with the 18watt. I like to use just the guitar and the amp.

2) there is anyway to put an EQ systom in it

If you build the TMB version, it has one. T=treble M=middle B=Bass
Again you can use a outboard eq, if you like. I don't think you would need it though.

3) there is any spicific rules i must follow to make it sound good

Follow the layouts and schematics. They are known good and many have built from them.

If you have never built one, then I would suggest buying a kit from the many suppliers that will come with a builders guide.

GDS, Trinityamps ...etc....

Lots of avenue's..... You should start by studying and reading threads etc....

Good luck, and if you get stuck, many are here to help.
