SD-9 Sonic Distortion : Maxon SD9

11 years ago

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with this pedal.

I definitely like it, but ever since I changed my pickups I found that on some amps I can't seem to find a sweet spot on the tone knob.

I already knew the highs can get out of hand pretty quick, but I've always found a way to tame them. Now, not so much...

It is evident that it just doesn't get along with my new pups, but I just wonder how common this issue might be with other pickups/amps.

Still, it's a great distortion pedal (the bass response is excellent), just make sure it goes well with your setup.
