Recaptures sought-after vintage and modern sounds in a powerful, versatile, and extremely musical pedal design.

Drawing on Joe Satriani's knowledge accumulated from decades of groundbreaking performances, both live and in the studio, VOX unveils a breakthrough in guitar tone The Satchurator distortion pedal. Designed to Satriani's exact specifications. The Satchurator produces Satriani's signature tone and adds features and improvements never before combined in a distortion pedal.

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 effects pedal. The Vox Satchurator is capable of very high gain levels, but operates more quietly and musically than many other modern distortion pedals.

It 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 Satchurator is the most musical, most dynamic, multi-function distortion pedal I've ever played through" says Satriani. "This little red box is a monster tone generator. Following my specifications without compromise, and adding design innovations I never thought possible, the VOX team has delivered exactly what I need for the stage as well as the studio: a distortion pedal that responds to my touch, and produces a big, natural, harmonically rich tone compatible with any guitar/pedal/amp configuration."

Vox Joe Satriani Satchurator Distortion Guitar Effects 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. This gain boost is dramatic when gain knob is set low, and is a subtle solo boost when gain knob is set to maximum.
  • Pad' switch pads down input to allow for high gain pedals (such as modern wahs) placed before Satchurator. Up is pad ON'. Down is pad OFF' for full Satchurator effect.
  • High gain, low noise design provides vintage to modern distortion sounds
  • Dynamic circuit is highly responsive to rolling off the guitar's volume and preserves the guitar's high end when the volume is rolled off.
  • Cream chicken-head knobs for precise positioning and high visibility on dark stages

Best distortion, period

The only way I can describe the sound of this pedal is "clean distortion". So much of the tone of your guitar comes through, even at the highest gain levels. As an added cool feature, with the gain set all the way down, the pedal still gives you "classic rock" distortion. I've never heard a pedal that sounds so much like the kind of distortion you'd hear on a professional recording. Another cool thing is that this is the first pedal where all the knobs at 12 o'clock is darn near perfect. The volume or level knob at 12 perfectly matches the bypass volume. Get this.

Best Distortion Pedal I've ever owned

All I can say is that I couldn't put my guitar down. This without a doubt is the most versatile, well thought out, incredible sounding distortion I have ever owned or played through. There is nothing bad about this pedal. Even the pad switch has a cool use if playing through a wah...makes the wah sound fuller. Awesome.

Best Pedal Ever

I have played for over 50 years now. I have played with some of the best effects pedals around, then and now. This pedal amazed me. It is so clean yet so dirty. As stated before on other reviews even with the effect off the pedal brings out notes I knew where there but had not ever heard before. When you first try it out you think what is this all about? Then it grabs you that when you are stretching that note off the fret board, it did not fade away it just keeps coming. I have recorded with it and live performance, outstanding!

Just Brilliant

I have bought this pedal to try and find that sound. I have an original tube screamer, as well as a big muff but was after something that could just push the amp a little further. This thing is awesome. Well doen Joe and Vox. My Jeckyla nd Hyde is now relegated to the cupboard as this pedal kicks its ar*e. The more switch is a great boost to bring through a solo into the mix or to drive the amp even harder. Its a hard pedal to fault in this price range, and if you are lucky you may get a early serial numbered one. This will keep me going for a long while to go
