Walmart Huh? yea it is time. but don't worry I've seen a few of the First  
Act Strat copy is that weren't half bad with a little attention, but lose  
the amp that is junk. get a new one with some nice features on it, the  
prices cant be beat nowadays, & forget about the peddle for now, or at  
least till you get ur hammer on down

thin, but not too thick. I play some blues, punk, rock, alternative,  
grunge, yadada. If you're playing serious death metal, get heavy picks. If  
ur playing jazz, maybe get light picks. It is all really about what you're  
comfortable with. I'd say go with medium picks, but that is just my  
opinion. About the distortion pedal, it all depends on what kind you get.  
You would leave ur amp on clean, & then when you hit the pedal, it would  
go into distortion. (Obviously) If you're using a cheap walmart amp, I  
suggest you get a pedal. Try maybe a BOSS DS-1 Distortion. It has a nice  
sound, & you can get one at guitar center for about 30 bucks. Hope this  
helps.
