Dani Rabin (of Marbin) shows you how to get the perfect jazz fusion tone in Four Steps:

For the past 20 years, Jazz Fusion guitar great Scott Henderson has had a Maxon SD-9 Sonic Distortion parked on his pedalboard.  He’s even gone so far as to call it “…the best distortion pedal ever made.

Yet for all his praises, there were several shortcomings to the SD-9 that many players –Scott included– had discovered.  Chief among these were a loss of low-end on high notes and a Tone control that was basically unusable past the 9 o’clock setting.

Over the years, many boutique pedal builders have modified the SD-9 in hopes of improving its performance, but they have all missed the mark—Until now.

TWA is very excited to announce our first signature model, as well as our first collaboration with Tube Screamer creator Susumu Tamura – the Scott Henderson SH9 Signature Distortion.

With the SH9, Mr. Tamura has taken the basic SD-9 circuit architecture that he invented in 1981 and re-worked it to meet Scott Henderson’s exacting performance standards.

Mr. Tamura has shifted the center frequency of the SH9’s Tone control and focused it in the lows and lower-mids.  Even as the Tone control is turned up, there is no loss of the bass frequencies that Scott considers essential for allowing notes to speak properly in the higher registers on the guitar.

This increased note girth combined with the SH9’s inherently compressed sound allows Scott to effortlessly articulate the fluid, horn-like lead tones that he is known for.

Another useful improvement to the SH9 circuit is an increased output level that helps the pedal to be heard clearly in a full band context.

Mr. Tamura also designed the SH9 to operate with 9-or 18-volt power.  Although Scott only uses the pedal with 9-volts, powering it with 18 VDC will allow for increased headroom with less compression and a slightly different character to the distortion.

The SH9 is housed in a die-cast zinc chassis and coated with a beautiful and durable metallic purple powder coating that was chosen by Scott (we love it too!).

Only the highest quality components such as ALPS potentiometers, Marushin Jacks, KOA/Speer resistors and WIMA, Nichicon & Kemet capacitors are used in the SH9 circuit in order to maintain the highest standards of tonal reproduction.

The SH9 is available with two different faceplate screens:  The first version highlights the SH9 logo in the same trademark lime-green color as the original SD-9, while the second, all-white screen features a replication of Scott’s signature.

We would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to both Scott Henderson and Susumu Tamura for their involvement in this project and their willingness to go above and beyond the norm.  We have learned many invaluable lessons during our interactions with these two Masters of their crafts. 

We are deeply honored to have been a part of the SH9 development.  We had been knocking this one about for the better part of three years, and there were several times that we didn’t think it would get off the ground – we’re very pleased that the SH9 has finally taken flight.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the limited nature of this pedal, long lead-times, and non-refundable transaction fees a 20% restocking fee will be charged on all canceled orders.

Perfect engagement gift or for any woman
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This book is in my top five for women. A quick read, but so profound. This edition has very small print, my one caveat is for it to be printed in a hardback with a larger font so women over 40 can enjoy it without reading glasses. Still, absolutely amazing and such a timely word for today's confused culture.

Beautiful, well-written advent companion book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I have been wanting to purchase this book as a companion to our yearly advent time, and am so glad I took the plunge this year. The beautiful stories, illustrations, delicious recipes and fun activities will be such a delightful enhancement to our readings this year, and I am hoping we can start a bit early so we have time to really savor the beauty of advent in what always turns out to be a busy season. Truly a gorgeous book that was put together with great thoughtfulness, love, and a heart for the true focus of Christmas.

a beautiful Advent book
Format: Hardcover
This book has truly been my companion during the advent season. It has resided next to my couch, in my kitchen, by my bed, and at my crafting table. It is beautifully written and filled with ideas that will inspire rather than overwhelm, and a memoir that will bring you to tears. Lovely

Fantastic and memorable Advent companion book & cookbook
Format: Hardcover
I love this book so much! (I've now bought 3 more copies for friends and family. It's that good!) It has bite-sized little readings for each of the four weeks of Advent, then it has a bunch more content for Christmastide. It has beautiful, hand-drawn recipe pictures and quote illustrations throughout along with many excellent recipes, Advent reading lists, music recommendations, and craft ideas. I'm not a crafty person, but it did help me with ideas for decorating my Advent wreath. Additionally, I've made multiple recipes from it, and we loved them all! The baked eggs and sweet/spicy bacon and gingersnaps are fantastic. I have more recipes planned in the weeks to come. The ideas of a Christmas simmer pot for using up older fruit and cinnamon sticks is great! What I love most is the festive yet accessible and contemplative, friendly nature of the author's writings. This is a lovely gift for yourself or for others. You won't want to do ALL of the ideas in any one year, but you'll return to it year after year for new ideas and for the ones you loved from last year!
