Digitech SC-2 Valve Distortion

 The SC-2 has a similar layout to the CM-2 but this time the mini-toggle switch selects between Crunch and Saturated modes. On the Crunch setting it's immediately apparent that the sound is more trebly than on the CM-2, with a tighter, more focused sound. Setting the Gain to three o'clock and boosting the low end resulted in a cool AC/DC tone that would cut through the mix at a gig very nicely. Taking the low end out and adding some highs gave us a modern bite that would suit the more staccato styles of indie rock, plus a bit of punk if you chuck a P90 at it. The Saturated mode kicks in a bit more anger but the pedal retains its more vintage characteristics throughout.
