A complete kit for an Ibanez™ Sonic Distortion™ (SD9™) replica, a fantastic distortion unit with more grind than a Tube Screamer™.
About the effect
The SD9™ was part of Ibanez™'s classic 9 series alongside the Tube Screamer™, and it delivers noticeably heavier distortion. Builders' comments on the project page describe it as sounding unlike a typical diodes-in-the-feedback-loop drive, with plenty of bass and good note definition in chords; more "metally" than a Big Muff™, but less saturated. The tone control works more like a bass EQ than a standard treble cut. Noise levels are similar to most other distortion pedals.
