Overview
The Seymour Duncan SFX-08 Power Grid
Distortion Pedal is a high-gain, solid state distortion stompbox capable of
myriad tones, thanks to a 3-band active EQ section. The Power Grid is a perfect
distortion pedal for all genres of rock.
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 Seymour
Duncan Power Grid, designed to provide powerful overdrive and distortion, The
Duncan Power Grid is a guitar pedal suitable for rhythm and lead playing,
thanks to 5 stages of class-A discrete circuitry cascaded to provide nearly
100dB of gain. Now that's power.
But the Seymour Duncan Power Grid is not an untamed beast. All this raw
horsepower is managed by a multi-element gain and volume control system that
gives you 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
Seymour Duncan SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic. And in between there are varying
levels of overdrive and distortion to fit your ideal sound.
With the Power Grid distortion effect, your tone is further refined 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. With all the power and
control built into the Seymour Duncan SFX-08 Power Grid, it could just be the
last distortion pedal you ever buy.
