Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Rocktron dealer

Journey into a land where distortion rules, and the opportunity to slay the dragon will allow you to reap incredible tonal rewards!

Rocktron's Silver Dragon is a unique distortion unit that combines the best of both worlds -- tube and analog solid-state distortion! For that tube sound you love, the Silver Dragon rams a 12AX7. Here is where you "Awaken" the beast and drive the tube sound.

Yes, the control is actually called 'Awaken.' Shreik controls the treble while Roar provides low end control. Fire handles the initial distortion drive level of the 12AX7.The second made, called Slayer, features a mixed-in combination of the 12AX7 distortion with the solid-state distortion driving the tube together.

Slayer Intensity changes the character, sustain and attack properties, which together enhance articulation. Breath control is for the symmetry of the solid-state distortion which affects the 'feel' of the distortion. Output level control is also provided.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a better distortion device than the Silver Dragon, and you'll have the ability to cross over into both worlds -- tube and solid-state. This is a unique stomp box format that utilizes a 13-Volt AC adapter to drive the beast. The Silver Dragon allows you to have three modes -- Clean, Crunch and Lead. Hints and tips provided in the instruction manual help you take advantage of the wide range of voicings, and define 'character' and 'feel' found in many expensive tube amplifiers.

For that tube sound you love, the Silver Dragon rams a 12AX7. Here is where you "Awaken" the beast and drive the tube sound. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Rocktron products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Very UNIQUE SOUND!"

Sound: This design is awesome and simple. Unfortunately, anything over 6 turns the sound into static or mud! But if you keep it under control it can really make your sound. I have thought of swapping the tube out to try and get more out of the controls but as I said above keep it under 6 and you'll get a good sound even with the stock tube. Feature: Pretty simple layout. One thing that is wrong with it! Well in order to use the Slayer side you must activate the awaken side. So basically you get a double distortion. Kind of foolish IMHO as it limits the possibilities. But it does have a very UNIQUE sound if kept below 6 on the controls! I found LESS is BETTER! Quality: Great quality and built like a tank! I do wish it could be used individually rather than stacked. The Wow Factor: Cool SILVER! Overall: It is different for sure so hopefully will become a collectible?

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Rocktron Silver Dragon Customer Review

Sound: The sound of this product goes with my style of music, and I like the sound quality with my tube stack. The sound responds wonderfully to my playing and is really expressive when used with my Boss SD-1. The sound helps me achieve a black metal, thrash, or punk tone, whatever I am looking for, and if I turn off the slayer and sd-1, I can get a nice breakup tone. The product sounds good by itself, but I have to adjust my mids and presence a bit to get a proper tone. With the SD-1, it gives a midboost. I use it with my Rocktron Rampage, which has a tone of distortion and tonal variety with the awaken channel, but I have the distortion no more then 2, and also a Metal Planet from Rocktron. I use the SD-1 with it as an overdrive, but sometimes when I want a really super gainy, feedbacky tone, I'll use the slayer mode with the intensity at about 1.5-3 as opposed to 3-5. Different settings sound good, but I wouldn't go extreme with the controls as they seem to go in addition to what's already there, such as the tone controls. I'd rely more on the awaken channel as opposed to the slayer channel, meaning most of the distortion is from the tube (Fire at about 6-8). Feature: It included a 13-volt adapter. The most useful features are the distortion and tone controls, though they don't sound very well past 6, but they are very expansive. Least useful, for me, is the Breath control. Generally, I use a lot of tube distortion and only at most about half of the ss distortion. It has a little effect at half, but more of an effect if I had the tube dist at 4 or so and the ss at 6-8. I wish it had a mid control, somewhat, but I use the SD-1 and it gets me the black metal sound I am looking for, but I don't mind. Ease of Use: Very easy to get good sounds, and I can get a few different sounds with such a small range in the tone controls. This product integrates well with the others since the SD-1 is a pretty transparent (but not the most transparent) OD, and the others are made by rocktron. The manual is clear. Quality: Seems dependable and well made like all Rocktron products. Value: It was worth the price compared to other products. Manufacturer Support: I've never dealt with their customer service. The Wow Factor: I like the crunch/high gain dual distortion design of the pedal and it's tone. Overall: I expect to be satisfied with this for quite a while, and could try changing tubes when I am not.

Style of Music: Metal
