Maxon D&S Distortion & Sustainer

Description

Maxon D&S Distortion & Sustainer, new.

• Classic 70s Transistor Distortion
• High Gain with long sustain & low noise
• Retains note definition, even with chords
• Sounds like a tighter, more refined Big Muff

The EH Big Muff Pi defined the guitar tones of the 70s and then re-defined them in the 90s. Yet for all its legendary pedigree, the Pi of today is a far cry from the triangle knobs and rams heads that came before it.

Originally released in 1974, the D&S Distortion & Sustainer creates the same silky, compressed fuzz that those vintage Muffs are famous for. Yet where Muffs have a tendency to blanket your original guitar tone, the D&S retains more of the original sound and feel of your instrument and amp.

By using hand-selected low-noise transistors, the D&S actually offers more gain than a vintage Black & Red, yet with a lower noise floor. Thats right MORE distortion with LESS noise.

The smooth EQ sweep of the D&S Tone control covers a frequency range that is narrower yet more useful than the Pis This tighter, more focused EQ provides superior note definition, even when playing chords.

The combination of these elements gives the D&S the ability to produce huge amounts of distortion with minimal alteration to your guitars tone.

One big wall of raw, grungy nastiness in a box the D&S takes the sound of the greatest vintage Muff and turns it up to 11.
