Published on 04/22/13 at 00:06The most excellent Joe Satriani, and the most excellent Vox brainstormed to lay an overdrive super quality for those who do not know what overdrive choose because of their requirements.
Pedal "double" that eats up space on the pedalboard with super full settings: Gain, Tone, Bass Level, switch modern / vintage, 2 stomps, one to engage or disengage the effect, and the other: MORE that bears his name. 2 jacks, a 9v power supply input, and go. And the icing on the cake is that it is super nice (note this is subjective) solid case, pearl white with dark blue buttons and blue LEDs.
UTILIZATION
By dint of fiddling with buttons, turn knobs and trample stomps, we ended up finding much on its own. The settings are endless, very simple and very effective. Satriani Wanted buttons called "chicken head" for a very fast access and visibility, as well as other signatures on these pedals, the Satchurator, Time Machine, and the Big Bad Wah. and most importantly, stomps are electronic, so no need to get attached to it to turn off. We quickly get used to this kind of little comfort.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound! Oh, talking about! finally, a pedal box is a sound ... Well, it is simply excellent because versatile wish. A little dull at first, but by pushing the treble tone, one earns a lot clearer. In addition, the knob "bass", usually rare on an overdrive brings roundness that is part of a small addition to the pedal. More, it does not lack is why we chose the Ice 9. The mini switch vintage / modern talking alone, is desired OD (yes, I will write OD now instead of overdrive, it is shorter and you will understand me ... I am sure) typed Stevie Ray vaugnan or an intermediary between distortion and OD very current, the small switch will fill. In vintage, the sound is lower, and "dirty" in modern, stronger, more punchy. The race of the gain is impeccable, very regular and very fine, and the volume is well balanced unlike its cousin Satchurator who constantly need to be pushed. And finally, the MORE button! I love this button, it is aptly named because it also adds gain and boosts (some) sound. Ideal for a rhythmic solo. It's almost as if you were 2/3 of the gain, and you push in at once. The effect is successful.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought 2 years ago, then sold because of the position it took on my pedalboard. And then I turned to OD at MXR, notament the GT-OD and OD Modified. I turned the Modified, let the GT-OD has a good grain Tubescreamer, and I added the Ice 9 I just re buying. I think Vox will lift the foot on the pedal Satriani signature, the Satchurator illustrement is known, and highly controversial, the Time Machine is probably one of the best delays of mache, and ice 9 deserves your attention.
