Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Distortion & Overdrive
Best distortion pedal ever? Possibly. It’s very hot and aggressive, the typical settings are output on full, tone between 0 and maybe 1 and distortion between 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock. Tone above that becomes brutal, haven’t played around with that, maybe a world of high-gain madness in there. Set as suggested gives you smooth, articulate lead tone, familiar sounding being as the top studio players use it. I love mine!

I'd been playing trough quite a few overdrive and distortion pedals in the past 20 years. I can't name them and don't want to either. The SD9 just sounds the best for me playing kind of fusion and blues music. It's got top and bottom end, versatile enough ,I mean goes from overdrive to real distortion. If I really want to drive it I add an EP booster to it. And one more thing if it's good enough for Mr Scott Henderson or my old teacher Mr John Bush then it should be good enough to me as well. Shouldn't it ?

A very good distortion pedal. Once you get it dialled into your amp, the Maxon SD-9 provides a unique drive character with lots of bottom end, very amp like distortion. Highly recomended for single coil guitars and Vox style amps. Built like a tank .

I love the versatility of this pedal. It sound great as an overdrive with a little bit of hair on it, and it sounds amazing with heavy drive tones. The True-bypass lets me put it in front of my fuzz without any sonic issues. If I had the pedalboard real estate, I would consider using two of them. If my pedal board ever was stolen, this is the first pedal that I'd replace. Bill Sig
