Review: Vox Joe Satriani Satchurator Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal |

June 15th, 2008 Guitar Effects/Pedals | |
Any Joe Satriani fans out there? Like his killer lead solo sound and want a quick and cheap way to get it? Vox has just released the Joe Satriani Satchurator Distortion pedal. The name aside, this pedal is pretty sick!
While not shipping until sometime in July, there has certainly been a good level of buzz behind this pedal. When you combine the Vox name with Satriani you almost can’t go wrong. I am anxious to buy this pedal and see if it lives up to the sound of the master.

Vox Joe Satriani Satchurator Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal Features:
Analog distortion pedal designed under the complete supervision of Joe Satriani
Controls for Gain, Tone and Volume
High gain, low noise design provides vintage to modern distortion sounds
Dynamic circuit is highly responsive to rolling off the guitar s volume and preserves the guitar s high end when the volume is rolled off.
Cream chicken-head knobs for precise positioning and high visibility on dark stages
More gain boost switch enables two footswitchable distortion sounds in one pedal. This gain boost is dramatic when gain knob is set low, and is a subtle solo boost when gain knob is set to maximum.
Pad switch pads down input to allow for high gain pedals (such as modern wahs) placed before Satchurator. Up is pad ON . Down is pad OFF for full Satchurator effect.
