The Rocktron Silver Dragon Tube Distortion Pedal combines the best of both worlds-tube and analog solid-state distortion! This dual-headed beast can deliver whatever distortion flavor you're wanting. For that tube sound you love, the Silver Dragon has a 12AX7. The Awaken switch rouses the tube for duty while Fire handles the initial distortion drive level of the 12AX7. When you kick in the solid-state side, called Slayer, you combine the tube distortion with solid state distortion to give you tons of gain with tight, punchy distortion, completely tweakable to your liking.

The Intensity control changes the character, sustain, and attack properties that together enhance articulation. The Breath control shapes the symmetry of the solid-state distortion affecting the feel of the distortion. Global controls include Shriek for handling treble frequencies, Roar for low-end control, and an output level control. Includes 13V AC adapter.

Excelent pedal.

I used to have a few different types of distortion pedals that I use, this one eliminated the need for all of them. It has a rich overdrive and a great crunch on the distortion and its easy to adjust to your sound (I used different color markers to mark the settings for my different styles of music I play).

The tube is alse extremly well place so you can replace it with ease. I've put a different tube in to achieve a better overdrive, but it wasn't necessary. I just didn't think it had enough so I swapped it out. Which also makes this convienent because if you're not happy you can just change the tube to your liking

Pretty Spectacular

This pedal is pretty spectacular. I got it as a gift about a year ago, and I love it. The sound is phenomenal, a hissing, sassy, and ballsy distortion that is really hard to find. My one complaint with it was the jacks. The jacks were really confusingly wired in and they broke about six months afterwards. I had to install a new pair of jacks and wire them into the board, and guess what? It sounds just as good. So aside from that I would give it a perfect score.

Great Tube/Solid State Distortion!

Despite the poor sound sample of this pedal on the site, it really gets many different tones, and great ones at that.

The tube channel uses a 12AX7 tube, which is pretty cheap, but gets a very nice gritty crunch, and when pushed can get pretty punchy, and if you're looking for more of a vintage, creamy-sounding overdrive, just turn the tube channel's distortion down to about 7 or 8 o'clock, then roll back the tone on your guitar, then be amazed.

The solid state channel is where the dirty, vintage wail turns to shred and shriek. This pedal sounds good with both solid state and tube amplifiers, but with my solid state Kustom, it really did scream more than with my tube one. The amount of gain you get with the second channel is insane, and note definition is nearly flawless.

Overall, this pedal has great control, tone, and value. It's one of the best distortion pedals I've ever played. If you have a solid state amp and want thrashing tube clarity in with your distortion, or if you have a tube amp and aren't able to crank it at home to get sweet overdrive, this pedal might just be for you.
