Vox Joe Satriani Satchurator Pedal :: Effects :: Outboard Gear :: Pro Audio

Drawing on Joe Satrianis knowledge accumulated from decades of groundbreaking performances, both live and in the studio, VOX unveils a breakthrough in guitar tone in The Satchurator distortion pedal. Designed to Satrianis exact specification, the Satchurator produces Satrianis signature tone and adds features and improvements never before combined in a distortion pedal. After almost a year of painstaking experimentation and road testing, Satriani and the VOX R&D team discovered the secrets to capturing the ultimate distortion tone in a modern-day effects pedal.

The Vox Satchurator is capable of very high gain levels, but operates more quietly and musically than many other modern distortion pedals. It also preserves the tone and pick attack regardless of style, while providing distortions from subtly distorted blues tones through classic rock and shred.

"The Satchurator is the most musical, most dynamic, multi-function distortion pedal I've ever played through" says Satriani. "This little red box is a monster tone generator. Following my specifications without compromise, and adding design innovations I never thought possible, the VOX team has delivered exactly what I need for the stage and studio a distortion pedal that responds to my touch, and produces a big, natural, harmonically rich tone compatible with any guitar/pedal/amp configuration."

Features:

Analog distortion pedal designed under the complete supervision of Joe Satriani
Controls for Gain, Tone and Volume
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.
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

Finally! This is one of the best pedals I've ever owned. It has everything from that "Brown Sugar" distortion to the Gilmour trademark fuzz. I run this with a MXR-169 Carbon Copy behind it and I've got the exact "Eruption" or Pink Floyd's "Sorrow" sounds. You won't be disappointed. Good job Vox!

I was a little skeptical about buying this pedal because of the mix of good and bad reviews on it. I just got mine yesterday. It seems to be built well, and could probably take a beating. It took a little tweaking to find my preferred sound, but once I found it, that was it. If you crank the tone knob, the sound gets extremely thin and kind of 50's radio sounding (cool if that's what you're going for), so for a good rock sound, about 9 o'clock is great. This thing has more gain than I need, so I keep that at about 3 o'clock. Sweet! Little pricey, but you won't regret it!

When I first got this the wait was relieved. I opened up the shipping box and found this black box of magic, with the title "vox" on the top. The wait was finally over. I opened it up to see an outstanding design matching Joe's JS1200 (Candy Apple) Paint.

It's a solid pedal, it could take a beating. I wouldn't suggest it though, I put this thing bad boy back in it's box when I'm done everytime.

The sound is amazing, although if your amp cots less than the pedal (which is why people are complaining about bad quality) it won't sound too clear. It gives you a rich distorted tone, without getting muddy. You can play chords and still hear each note. It takes some tinkering to get the exact Joe sound but it's worth it. It's so nice, harmonics scream out of it. Of course Joe had to throw something original and extra into it, by adding a "more" button, which makes solos more enjoyable. It's fun being able to adjust the amount of distortion with a simple button without having to use more than one pedal.
