Put
Power at Your Feet with this Incredible Overdrive/Distortion!
The Seymour Duncan
SFX-08 Power Grid distortion pedal gives you the
overdrive and distortion you want, the control you need, and the power
you crave!
The SFX-08 Power Grid includes five stages of Class A
discrete circuitry, cascaded to give you almost 100dB of gain. It's
contained by a comprehensive gain and volume control system, allowing
you to dial in an array of impressive OD and distortion tones.
An
onboard 3-band EQ gives you even more tweaking options, whith 12dB of
boost or cut on each band. Put the power of amazing crunch tones at
your command with the SFX-08 Power Grid!

Power Grid Distortion Pedal at a Glance:

- Control the fury
- Active EQ
A
powerful pedal
As a guitarist, when
you need power, it's generally because you want to
lay down chunky rhythms or you need to bust out a blazing solo.
Enter
the Power Grid
Seymour Duncan's newest stompbox, which is designed to
provide powerful overdrive and distortion suitable for rhythm and lead
playing, thanks to five stages of class A discrete circuitry, which are
cascaded to provide nearly 100dB of gain. Now that's power!
Control the fury
All
this raw
horsepower is managed by a multi-element gain and volume
control system that allows fine control.
For example, if you crank the
gain, you'll get a very thick, saturated "modded British" distortion,
reminiscent of the big guitar sounds that defined metal.
But if you
back the gain off, you'll get a very responsive "crunch" distortion
similar to the rhythm channel on the SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic. And in
between there are myriad levels of overdrive and distortion.
Active
EQ
The Power Grid lets
you refine your tone even further, thanks to a
three bands of active EQ. Each band allows for up to 12dB of boost or
cut at frequencies selected for maximum control of the electric guitar.
This allows you to create tones with a far greater degree of surgical
precision than what's possible with any distortion pedal with passive
EQ.

Our impression:
This pedal
KILLS! monsterous power and great tone range - the tone pots have
center detents (stops) and the range of boost and cut from each is
terrific.
It is obvious from the
Duncan description that it has a lot of power - right, tons of power to
drive any amp or even directly into
a power amp.
