From Our Research Team:

The Hot Distortion Sound of a Guitar Legend in a Cool Pedal!

The Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal gives you the authentic sound of one of rock's most revered and imitated guitarists, Joe Satriani. Using Satch's approach to his tone (a distortion unit going into a clean amp), the Satchurator 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. All hail the Satchurator!





Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal at a Glance:
  • Built from experience
  • Ultimate Satch tone
  • Preserves tone and pick attack

Built from experience
Drawing on Joe Satriani's knowledge accumulated from decades of groundbreaking performances, both live and in the studio, The Satchurator is designed to Satriani's exact specifications. It produces Satriani's signature tone while combining great features, innovative design, and easy operation.

Ultimate Satch tone
After almost a year of painstaking experimentation and road testing, Satriani and the VOX R&D team discovered the secrets to capturing the ultimate distortion tone in a modern-day pedal. The Satchurator is capable of very high gain levels, but operates more quietly and musically than other modern distortion pedals.

Preserves tone and pick attack
The Satchurator also preserves the tone and pick-attack of the guitarist plugging into it, regardless of style, from subtly distorted blues tones through classic rock and shred. The result is a professional-quality pedal that recaptures sought-after vintage and modern sounds in a powerful, versatile and extremely musical pedal design.

Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal Features:
  • Analog distortion pedal designed under the complete supervision of Joe Satriani
  • Controls for Gain, Tone and Volume
  • 'More' gain boost switch enables two footswitchable distortion sounds in one pedal
  • 'Pad' switch pads down input to allow for high gain pedals (such as modern wahs) placed before Satchurator
  • High gain, low noise design provides vintage to modern distortion sounds
  • Dynamic circuit is highly responsive
  • Cream chicken-head knobs for precise positioning and high visibility on dark stages
  • Controls: Gain, Tone, Volume, On/Off Switch, 'More' Switch, Pad Switch
  • In/Outputs: 1/4" Input, 1/4" Output

The Vox Satchurator Distortion Pedal puts the sound of a legend at your feet!

Music Background: Gigging musician, hobbyist, tone freak. I like rock music.
This pedal really impressed me. I have gone through a number of distortion and overdrive pedals, looking for the right tone. This pedal has, by far, been the best distortion pedal I have ever played. ... read more [+]It truly blew me away when I started playing with it.

I have gone to many music stores and demoed almost if not all the distortion pedals there. There has never been one that satisfied me like the Satchurator. Even through a crappy digital modeling amp t... read more [+]his is killer, and through a Super Reverb and a Vox AC30 it is the best tone i've ever heard. The controls are very responsive, especially the tone knob. The more button is the best, and there will never be anything else like it. close [-]

Hands down... This is the best distortion pedal I've ever used! It's super "clean" and plays well with others :) With this pedal there's no need to jack everthing up to "10" to get a screaming tone...... read more [+] Unless you wanna! This thing has got oomph and body and finesse and personality and a lot of room for whatever you have in mind. It's not tinny or overcompressed... You get big fat tone and using it off your clean channel you retain so much nuance. Get it. You'll dig it. close [-]
