Electric Guitar Effects

Since its original release in the early 80s, the Sonic Distortion has earned a fine reputation among connoisseurs, including guitar legends such as Scott Henderson and Mike Landau. This reissue captures all the magic of the original with the added benefit of a true, quieter Bypass. The SD-9 delivers smooth distortion that covers a wide range of gain levels, from light overdrive to pseudo-fuzz. Regardless of the gain setting, the effect remains articulate and responsive to playing dynamics, offering excellent sustain without veering into super-compressed metal territory.

ARTICLE N° 73588
The SD-9's Tone knob has plenty of treble, but the notes always retain a round, full-bodied tone with presence in the bass, usually associated with amp distortion.

The pedal's midrange response is smooth and even, there without being omnipresent.

From its humble origins to its current place in the pedalboards of the stars, the Sonic Distortion has proved to be a timeless classic that has only improved with age.
