Ibanez SD9M 9 Series Distortion Pedal

With added Mid-Boost and Gain-Boost switches, the SD9M is a fresh take on a classic. Ideal for metal, this is the heaviest tube screamer yet.

This is an excellent pedal - great build quality and an amazing range of tones, a steal for the price. You can get classic Sonic Distortion tones, boosted Marshall or anything in between. The mid and gain switches are genius all at a price less than a SD9 by a different brand.

"Great pedal, just not for me"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

To start off with, I was searching for slight distortion and/or a gain boost. This pedal exceeded those expectations by ten fold. I wish I hadn't returned the pedal, but I ended up not needing it. (Big ups to Zzounds for everything from ordering and returns) You can achieve an immense array of sounds out of device. It would make a great main distortion pedal for virtually any pedal board, in any guitar application; possibly even bass.

Musical Background:

Guitar for 7 years, gear nerd and hound.

Prog metal, death metal, black metal, indie, atmospheric
