From Our Research Team:

Two Distinct Voices, Built to Joe's Specifications

Named after a tune on Joe's classic, Surfing with the Alien, the Ice 9 overdrive pedal is the fourth collaboration between the guitarist extraordinaire and one of England's premier amp makers. In "Vintage" mode, the Ice 9 uses a special op-amp and premium diodes to conjure sounds reminiscent of overdrive pedals of the days of yore. In "Modern" mode, a germanium diode offers up an aggressive overdrive. Want a little bit more? The aptly named "More" button kicks in a 14dB boost, perfect for solos. The Ice 9 gives you the best of the past and today!

TRANSPARENT

by Fran from Soo Michigan

Music Background: FREAKAZOID
I kind of went out on a limb with this one because, every overdrive pedal I've ever tried didn't cut it. Thanks to Sweetwater's return policy, I decided to go for it.
The biggest thing here i... read more [+]s transparency. When I click this baby on it doesn't sound like a Vox Ice 9 pedal. It sounds like my amp with that bit of extra drive we're all looking for. Also, it works well to retain my guitar tone. AWESOME! Doesn't matter what your settings are. I tried different amps and guitars/pickups. When I'm running clean, click it and it sounds nice and punchy. When I'm running full on high gain, click it and it blisters. All my tone is intact. Actually works like an overdrive pedal should. GREAT!
Bottom line: Best overdrive pedal on the market, a reasonable price, and it looks pretty cool. Gotta love it! close [-]

Well when i received this pedal i was blown away by it. I had been looking for overdrive that had a nice thick bottom and a good sparkle on the Top end. If you crank the tone knob(its just like a low ... read more [+]pass filter.) and put the bass knob at 12 o clock it sounds just like homemade cake. I like it better than pretty much every other overdrive ive used. Its got the perfect amount of gain too. I love it. The Satchurator was way too dirty for anyone that doesn't use any high gain sounds. But this is perfect. I may buy another one. close [-]

This overdrive pedal is amazing, specially when used with single coil pickups. The thing that amazes me the most about this pedal is the separate bass control and the Vintage and Modern options.

Sweetwater Advice

Zach Neels
The Vox Ice 9 overdrive pedal is absolutely stunning! After setting up a raunchy rhythm tone, engage it for a great lead tone that anyone playing hard rock or metal would be jealous of. Turning on the "more" button gives you a great boost for soloing, as well as full blown lead lines. The Vintage/Modern switch also provides a huge palate to chose from when crafting your own signature sound.
