Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The DOD Boneshaker is a high-gain analog distortion pedal engineered in collaboration with Black Arts Toneworks for DigiTech's DOD brand. Custom-designed circuitry provides a wide gain range from gainy overdriven character at lower settings through heavy sustain and grit at full saturation. A Depth control enhances upper midrange and adds growl, while three-band EQ provides broad tonal shaping. The Boneshaker straddles the territory between a medium-gain overdrive and full distortion, with a raw, aggressive character. Suited for heavy blues, hard rock, and players seeking powerful, flexible gain with studio-grade circuit pedigree.
The Ibanez SD9 Sonic Distortion is a classic 1980s distortion pedal from Ibanez, featuring a wide gain range and a three-band EQ section that provides exceptional tonal control for a compact distortion of its era. The SD9 covers clean boost through extreme high-gain saturation and has a distinctive voice that suits both vintage hard rock and modern high-gain applications. Guitar Player and vintage pedal collectors have recognized the SD9 as one of the most versatile and musically satisfying of the classic Japanese distortion designs from the 1980s.
