Seymour Duncan SFX-08 Power Grid Distortion
High gain, solid state distortion stompbox capable of myriad tones thanks to a three-band active EQ section. Perfect 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 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!
But the Power Grid is not an untamed beast. 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.
With the Power Grid, 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 SFX-08 Power Grid, it could just be the last distortion pedal you buy. Ever!

Seymour Duncan SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic
Seymour Duncan has launched a new stomp box and she's a beauty! She's the Twin Tube Classic, a high-quality, two-channel, guitar preamp that uses a duet of premium mil-spec, subminiature 6021 vacuum tubes. The 100% vacuum tube signal path with a high voltage power supply allow the tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range, the most gain and the smoothest tone. The result is the classic tube sound, smooth distortion, and low order harmonics you expect from a great tube preamp.

Seymour Duncan SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem
High-quality guitar preamp with built in boost. Uses a duet of premium, mil-spec, subminiature, USA-made Phillips-Sylvania 62051 pentode tubes. Great for old school metal, new metal, thrash, death and doom.
The high plate voltage and 100% vacuum tube signal path allow the tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range. Additional gain is achieved with a high voltage, low noise, discrete Class A input stage. The solid state input stage increases the resistance of the stomp-box to microphonics. The result is maximum dynamic range, the most gain, and the heaviest tone your expect from a great tube preamp voiced for metal. Also features user-selectable 4dB or 8dB boost for pre-setting rhythm and lead levels. True bypass. Fully encapsulated toroidal transformer for quiet operation. Heavy duty steel chassis.

Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster
The first effects pedal designed specifically to work together with the pickups in a guitar to achieve optimum gain and resonance for all tonal applications. Works with all musical styles.
By rotating the gain control knob you can add pure, flat-EQ gain, ranging from 6dB to 25dB! The Resonance Switch drops the resonant peak of a single coil pickup up to 5KHz, making a single coil sound like a full and fat humbucker. Features fully discrete Class A circuitry along with true bypass. Comes in a heavy-duty steel chassis and runs on a single 9 volt battery.
For Resonance Switch to work properly, the SFX-01 must be first in the signal chain using passive pickups and a standard guitar cable - not a wireless unit.

Seymour Duncan SFX-02 Tweak Fuzz
Production version of boutique fuzz pedal that features a six-position "Tweak" control for tonal versatility. Great for pop, classic rock, heavy rock, punk and metal.
The Tweak Fuzz features a six-position "Tweak" switch to voice the fuzz tone. The basic tone will be familiar to those who remember the rich, lush, vintage fuzz tones of the '60s pop festivals. But with the addition of the Tweak switch, the player can now create a myriad of totally unique fuzz tones, making the Tweak Fuzz an incredibly versatile pedal for electric guitar and bass. Discrete, Class A, low-noise transistor with true bypass. Steel chassis. Runs on a single 9 volt battery.

Seymour Duncan SFX-05 Lava Box
Mosfet distortion/overdrive with incredible dynamic range. Even at the highest gain settings, you can turn down your guitar's volume control and the Lava Box will clean up beautifully. Onstage, you can set the Lava Box for a loud lead tone and simply use your guitar's volume control to get your clean and crunch tones--all without switching channels or kicking in other effects. In the studio, you can explore the huge array of tones that are available with the intuitive controls, creating special-effect thin tones or spooky dark sounds that are perfect for layering and overdubs.
The six-position "Rumble" bass roll-off control changes the sonic character of the Lava Box's distortion for a huge range of tones, from bright and spanky to deep and warm. Whether you have the thinnest single-coil in the bridge of your guitar or the woolliest humbucker in the neck, there is a Rumble setting that's perfect for it.

Seymour Duncan SFX-07 Shape Shifter
Sonically pure, 100% analog signal path delivers the familiar lush, hypnotic, pulsing tremolo vibes characteristic of ‘50s tube amps. Digital tap control offers incredible control. Shape and Wave controls provide unparalleled versatility.
There are two modes. In Rate mode the tremolo speed varies continuously from one to 20 cycles per second. An LED pulses in time with the tremolo effect for easy Rate setting. In Ratio mode, the speed is established by tapping the Tap Rate switch, allowing for easy synchronization of the tremolo rate with the song tempo. Also, in Ratio mode, the tapped tempo can be expressed in your choice of four tap-to-note ratios: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, or 4:1 (1/4 notes, 1/8 notes, triplets, or 1/16 notes).
The Wave control allows the tremolo effect to go from the smooth modulation of a sine wave through the sharper characteristics of a triangle wave to the abrupt on/off effect of square wave drive.
Most classic tremolos increase the volume over a certain period if time, say a quarter of a second, and then decrease the volume over a similar period of time. This gives a smooth, even feeling to the tremolo effect. When set to the middle of its range, the Shape Shifter’s Shape control does exactly that. But when the Shape control is rotated away from its center position, the relationship between the time spent increasing the volume and the time spent reducing the volume changes. For example, you can dial in one-tenth of a second of volume increase followed by four-tenths of a second of volume decrease, or vice-versa. This adds a very different feel to the tremolo effect. With quick swell and a slow drop, the effect is percussive like a piano. Conversely, with a slow swell and sudden drop, the result is reminiscent of a tape played backwards

Seymour Duncan SFX-06 Bass Paranormal
Like all DIs, the Paranormal sports a balanced line out XLR jack (with ground lift) so you can feed a front-of-house mixing board or a recording console with no loss of signal. But that’s where the similarities end, because the Paranormal Bass Direct Box also features active EQ and a Slap Contour switch. Use it on stage to split a signal between your amplifier and the mixing board. Or, use it in the studio as a direct recording device
The Paranormal features three bands of active EQ specifically optimized for bass. This allows you to dial in your tone in any room, sculpting your lows, mids, and highs quickly and easily with up to 12dB of boost or cut for each band of EQ. It’s the perfect solution for bassists who want the flexibility of an active system but don’t want to modify their instrument. The SFX-06 also features our proprietary Slap Contour switch, which applies an additional preset EQ curve to whatever settings you’ve chosen with the 3-band EQ. This produces a tone that’s perfect for slap playing but also works great as an alternate sound for fingerstyle or pick playing.
