I’m selling my Maxon SD-9 modified by Analogman to include customizable Mids, a half-clipping toggle switch, yellow LED and the KWS Tour Survival Option.
Here are some things from the Analogman website:
“An SD-9 is sort of like a TS-9 designed for distortion, with more hair and a thicker, more saturated distortion sound which is great for leads or thick rhythm.
After our mod, you can turn up the tone knob and still get a great sound, without harshness or noise.
Scott Henderson had been using our modified SD9 for a while so we got a lot of requests for them.
We can finally fulfill these requests with these new Maxon pedals.
The Maxon pedal has a TRUE BYPASS switch also, so there is no buffering or change in tone when the pedal is off.
Maxon pedals are made by the company that made the original Ibanez pedals so they are the real deal.
Our SD9/Super mod takes the fine sounding SD-9 and makes it clearer, purer, and less scooped, while retaining all the gain and cool tones of the sonic distortion.
Also our mod kills any remnants of high frequency noise or oscillation if you crank the knobs.
Mid Range mod
The SD9 has quite a scooped midrange, especially stock when you turn the tone knob up any amount.
After our SUPER MOD the lows are a little better but but it's still a little scooped in the mids.
In 2007 we came up with a mod with the help of local guitar phenom Roger Filgate who loves the SD9/super but needed more mids to cut through with the band live.
We can now add a midrange trim pot on the Maxon SD9 board as there is plenty of room.
It is marked at the stock value and we set and mark it at what we feel is a nice setting with a slight mid boost.
For best sound on the SD9, keep the TONE knob very low.
Our midrange knob works great then, allowing you to add in the normal frequencies that sound great with guitar while keeping the annoying high end under control.
HALF GAIN MOD to lower the amount of distortion, compression, and saturation taht the pedal has throughout it's range.
With this mod, it's a bit closer to a Tube Screamer when the drive is down all the way but without the compression and midrange of a TS.
It will only get much louder and half as distorted when all the way up, compared to before.
I’m asking $275, the sale is cash only, I’m sorry but I’m not interested in trades.
IMPORTANT:
To setup a time to test this pedal, please email your full name (first and last), telephone number, and actual email address (I can’t see it through the CL relay), and I will reply with my same information as soon as possible.
Due to some interesting and at times even unscrupulous characters out there, emails without that information will be deleted; thank you for understanding and consideration,
