one thing I've never quite understood- what exactly is the difference between overdrive and distortion?

So I somehow ended up with a $50 GC gift card and am trying to decide how to spend it. I want a pedal of some sort, and I already have a DS-1. Can anyone recommend an overdrive pedal in this price range that will give a distinct tone from my DS-1? I was looking at the Ibanez TS-7, how is that?

The Boss OD-1 is a great $50 overdrive pedal.

Does it sound distinct from the DS-1?
