Description: Classic 70’s Transistor DistortionHigh Gain with long sustain & low noiseRetains note definition, even with chordsSounds like a tighter, more refined Big MuffThe EH Big Muff Pi defined the guitar tones of the 70’s and then re-defined them in the 90’s. Yet for all its legendary pedigree, the Pi of today is a far cry from the triangle knobs and ram’s 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. That’s 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 Pi’s – 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 guitar’s 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.TECH TALK:The secret to the D&S’ smooth tone and natural response lies in two areas of its circuit. First, the Hi boost/Hi cut Tone control retains low end response while adding top-end clarity to notes. Next, high-grade, low noise Toshiba 2SC1815 transistors offer more intense distortion with minimal noise and signal degradation.The D&S features buffered, JFET bypass switching with a low impedance output, allowing it to drive long cable lengths or other effect units without loss of signal.Input Impedance: 500K OhmsInput Jack: 1/4 inch standard phone jackOutput Impedance: 10K OhmsOutput Jack: 1/4 inch standard phone jackOutput: 1Controls: Distortion, Tone, BalanceSwitch: Normal/EffectNoise (IHF-A): -110 dBuMax Amplitude: 40 dBuPower Supply: 9V Manganese dry cell battery (S-006P) or special AC adaptorPower Voltage: DC9 V (Battery) / DC10 V (AC-adaptor)Current Consumption: 6 mA (9V) / 7 mA (10 V)AC Adaptor: AC210N (option) Input: AC120V Output: DC9V/200 mA Center - / Sleeve +)Dimensions (main body): 61 mm (W) x 112 mm (D) x 35 mm (H)Dimensions (whole): 70 mm (W) x 112 mm (D) x 55 mm (H)Weight: 260 gMaxon D&S Distortion/Sustainer Guitar Effect Pedal.
