Special features of the Satchurator:
Pure, powerful, and dynamic distortion tone.
Through months of painstaking experi-
mentation and road testing Joe and the VOX R&D team discovered the secrets to captur-
ing the ultimate distortion tone in a modern-day pedal. The Satchurator is capable of very
high gain levels, but preserves the tone and pick attack of the guitarist plugging into it.
Best of all, you can play VERY hard with anything from vintage single coils to high output
humbucking pickups and the input will not clip like many modern day distortion pedals.
We would tell you more about how we nailed this sound, but then we’d have to…well,
you know.
“MORE” Switch.
This switch adds a huge amount of tonal flexibility to the Satchurator,
and essentially makes this a two-in-one pedal. At high gain settings, “MORE” provides a
subtle boost in gain and midrange that is just enough to push your leads to the top of the
mix, without adding unwanted distortion, clipping or noise. At lower-to moderate gain
settings, the “MORE” switch will boost the gain significantly, allowing for dual-sound set-
ups. Try setting the gain control at 2 o’clock and using the “MORE” switch to boost your
tone to the equivalent of the pedal’s “10” gain setting. Since you can dial in two totally dif-
ferent, dynamic sounds in one pedal, you can save space on your pedal board!
Chicken Head Knobs.
There were a lot of practical reasons Joe chose these knobs over
something more modern looking. For one, they just look cool! But the controls of the
Satchurator are so sensitive and the range of sounds so broad, that Joe and the VOX team
found that very small changes in knob settings yielded very cool sounds. So, we decided it
was essential to give you the most precision possible in exploring and documenting your
