VOX Joe Satriani Ice 9 Dual Overdrive Pedal

Bring the signature tone of a guitar virtuoso to your pedalboard with the VOX Joe Satriani Ice 9 Overdrive Pedal. Named after the iconic track from Satriani's seminal album Surfing with the Alien, this multi-function overdrive is the result of a close collaboration between VOX and Joe Satriani, designed to combine the warmth and character of rare vintage stomps with modern, high-performance flexibility.

The Ice 9 is equipped with a dual-voice architecture that gives you access to two completely distinct overdrive personalities via a quick toggle switch. The Vintage mode utilizes a special op-amp and premium diodes to deliver sweet, warm, and organic sustain reminiscent of classic pedals. In contrast, the Modern mode incorporates a Germanium diode to inject an aggressive, cutting-edge edge into your tone. For soloing and dynamic performance, the pedal also features Satriani's signature "More" switch, delivering an instant 14dB volume boost to ensure your leads punch straight through the mix.
