- Analog distortion
- 2 switch with a boost
- Gain, tone, volume up high-frequency filter
- Joe Satriani Signature
- Made in Japan BANZAIIIIIIIIII
- Aesthetic worthy of the finest vintage pedals
UTILIZATION
- It is a clone of a Japanese-Ds favorite Satch, but with so many improvements on the request of the master!
- Easy to get a good sound, the boost is very useful to have two sounds available at the bottom (but it does not affect the volume) and to have more gain than a single DS-1
- The small switch provides a subtle change in the mid treble, it is mainly there to compensate for the loss of certain frequencies in case of connecting a wah or volume pedal, it is not necessary but better worth a little extra in case
- The knobs are particularly precise and pleasant to turn, the slightest movement changes the sound reproduction
SOUND QUALITY
The grail of shred, just! No pedal analog or digital-based DS-1 can compete with it, not even Robert Keeley (I have one). Japanese manufacturing extremely neat sound quality combined with truly remarkable makes a wonderful tool efficiency addictive. No wonder Satriani and Vox have tried no less than twenty prototypes prior to commercialization. For once, there is no doubt that the artist whose name is used has actively collaborated in its development and uses the same object on stage and in studio, without customization by his technician. The range of possibility of satchurator is huge, we go beyond the already rich style of Joe. All settings sound as long as one does not exceed half of the tone, beyond the highs become aggressive.
This pedal is fantastic because it can both connect to a clear channel on a channel saturated (so as to boost the latter case) and has an incredible musicality. Sing the notes, harmonics fuse and it is far from the coldness of a DS-1 standard, the gain is much higher and can approach the heavy metal with double coils. The boost works differently depending on the setting of gain and can play harmonics when the knob is in the last quarter of the way, adding a fuzz side but keeping the accuracy. Blues, jazz, shred, fusion, metal and even classical, anything goes with this addictive Vox wish.
OVERALL OPINION
We can play anything except the most extreme styles with the unit which is also called a beautiful object to enter the pantheon of legendary effects as the original TS 808 or the chandler tube driver. A must have for all fans of Satch but all addicted to distortion. Get rid of your old DS-1 and DS-2 and their clones, the Satchurator is the goddess of this class of distortion and goes well beyond.
