What it does
The Sabbadius Black Distortion MOD is a distortion pedal from Sabbadius. The maker's published description of this circuit centers on its modulation side: it uses 100% pure-analog BBD modulation, meaning the time-based effects are produced by bucket-brigade-device chips rather than digital processing1.
In practice, that analog BBD path gives the pedal three time-modulation effects in one unit: chorus, flanger, and high-band flanger1. For a player, that means one box can cover the thickened doubling of a chorus, the sweeping jet character of a flanger, and a high-band flanger, where the sweep acts only on the upper frequencies of the signal so the low end stays untouched1.
The maker's product page describes this circuit as a time-modulation pedal combining chorus, flanger, and high-band flanger1.
Players comparing it against other Sabbadium distortion pedals, such as the Sabbadius Custom Black Distortion or the Sabbadius MTBL, can find those pages elsewhere on the site. For a wider look at the category, see the distortion pedals overview.
