The Maxon SD-9 Distortion Pedal offers true bypass for pristine tone and flexible controls for everything from smooth saturation to heavy, crushing distortion. Its low-noise footswitch ensures natural sound, while the tool-free battery compartment provides easy access. Powered by a 9V battery or standard AC supply, this Maxon pedal is a must-have for any guitarist looking to explore the true essence of distortion.
Since its original release in the early 80’s the Sonic Distortion has gained a huge cult following among tone connoisseurs, including the likes of guitar legends Scott Henderson and Mike Landau.
The SD-9 provides a smooth distortion that covers a wide range of Gain levels from mild overdrive through pseudo-fuzz. Regardless of the Gain setting, the SD-9 remains articulate and responsive to note dynamics, providing excellent sustain without crossing over into super-compressed Metal territory.
The SD-9’s Tone knob has plenty of top end on tap, yet notes still retain a round, full-bodied tonality with the low end presence usually associated with amp distortion. The pedal’s midrange response is smooth and even – present without seeming spiked.
Since its humble origins to its current place in the pedalboards of the stars, the Maxon Sonic Distortion has proven itself to be a timeless classic that has only improved with age.
