Resulting from a colaboration between VOX and Joe Satriani, the
VOX Satchurator distortion pedal delivers Satriani's signature
sound and the tone of a vintage distortion stompbox.
The VOX Satchurator analogue guitar effects distortion tone
generator pedal produces a high gain sound without adding noise
or sacrificing musicality. Tone and pick-attack are likewise
preserved.
Using Satriani's approach to his tone, a distortion pedal going
into a clean amp, the VOX Satchurator distortion pedal features
controls for gain, tone, and volume, as well as a boost switch,
a pad to attenuate high-gain signals from other pedals in the
chain, and a responsive Dynamic circuit, which allows you to
get a great range of distortion tones with your guitar's volume
knob without sacrificing high frequencies. The VOX Satchurator
Joe Satriani distortion effects pedal does not include the
sounds of classic Joe Satriani songs, rather the Satchurator
pedal produces Joe Satriani's guitar distortion effects from
Satriani's signature tone, big, natural and harmonically rich.
The Satchurator is a professional-quality pedal that recaptures
vintage and modern sounds in a powerful, versatile and
extremely musical pedal design.
The VOX Satchurator 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.
The VOX Satchurator Distortion Pedal puts the sound of a legend
at your feet!

|Review of the Vox Satchurator

Features of the Vox Satchurator
Construction - The Vox Satchurator is housed in a simple metal box finished in metallic red, a colour much beloved by Vauxhall owners in the mid-seventies. The base is removable with four small screws should you need to get to the guts inside, but the battery is changeable via its own clip-out compartment. On the topside there are three chicken-head knobs, a small microswitch and two standard footswitches, each footswitch having its own dedicated red led indicator.
Ins and Outs - One input jack and one output jack. There's also an inlet for an optional 9 volt psu.
Power - One 9v battery (included) or an optional 9v adaptor (not included).
Controls - The controls are simplicity itself. The Gain control dictates the amount of distortion gain produced by the unit. The Tone control looks after the tone, up for brightness and down for darkness and the Volume control balances the overall output of the unit. In between the Gain and the Tone knob is a microswitch labelled "pad". Under normal circumstances this is left off. But should the signal from your guitar or a previously daisy-chained effects pedal be too bright, the pad switch can be engaged and the sharp edges of the tone will be removed. There's a footswitch to engage the unit and a second footswitch that's labelled "More". This is another intelligent innovation of the Vox Satchurator. If you're running the Gain at about 2 or 3 o'clock then the More switch will punch up the level of the signal for lead breaks. However if you're running the Gain at or near maximum, the More switch will subtly boost the gain and the midrange to push your solo to the top of the mix.
Sound of the Vox Satchurator
This is a really smooth-sounding, dynamic and creamy distortion unit. It gets heavy and dirty without losing musicality. It's designed to run into a clean amp and therefore be the main basis of your overall guitar sound. And yes, it really is that good. Distortion does not come in a more satisfying flavour than this.
Overall Impressions of the Vox Satchurator
If you're looking for your heavy rock guitar sound then the Vox Satchurator is a self-contained solution. The natural-sounding distortion will suit many kinds of rock music, so you don't have to be a Satriani fan to own this pedal. It's more of an embodiment of Satriani's thinking about guitar tone and Vox's ability to pull off some intelligent engineering. Well worth the asking price.
