Maxon has unveiled some impressive distortion pedals over the past year, including the Apex 808 and the Robert Keeley-Modded 40th Anniversary OD808.

Now, the company is continuing down the ol’ dirt road with the new Scott Henderson SD-9SH, which updates the SD-9 Sonic Distortion, a unit Henderson has called “the best distortion pedal ever made.”

An additional output level has also been added to help balance the output signal with other pedals.
