DISCVox Joe Satriani Ice9 Overdrive Pedal w/FREE Instrument Cable, 6m

Full Description

This product also comes with a FREE Jack - Jack Pro Yarn 6m Instrument Cable.

The Ice 9 overdrive pedal is fourth in a series of effect pedals created in collaboration between world-renowned guitarist Joe Satriani and VOX. It boasts two distinct overdrive modes, versatile tone-shaping, and the ever-popular "More" switch. The name comes from the title of one of Joe Satriani's popular songs off his album, Surfing with the Alien (1987).

Vintage and Modern Voices

Try out two vastly different overdrive voices via the Vintage / Modern voice switch. Each of these is designed to Satriani's specifications using carefully selected components. The Vintage mode employs a special op amp and premium diodes, giving warm and classic overdrive effects with just the right amount of sparkle and sustain. The Modern voice adds in a Germanium diode to kick up a cutting-edge, aggressive overdrive.

Amazing Sound Shaping

Instead of a single EQ knob, the Ice 9 is voiced with both a custom Tone control and an extra Bass response knob. The Bass control provides extra bottom to the sound before it enters the drive stage. Turning the Bass down gives an overdrive tone with a crisp, extra bite. The Tone control shapes the sound as it exits the drive stage, giving more sonic flexibility. While the EQ points match the exact settings Joe Satriani uses, you can shape your own tone with the Ice 9.

The Gain knob can dial in any amount of overdrive and works in conjuncition with the volume knob, which controls overall volume level when the Overdrive effect is engaged. Then if you want that extra step, hit the "More" button and enjoy an additional 14 dB of volume boost!

A Convenient Little Box

Power for the Ice 9 comes from a single 9 Volt battery (an optional AC adapter is available). It boasts a durable metal case, distinct appearance and easy-to-read knobs.
