’60s British Saturation in a Stomp
The J. Rockett .45 Caliber overdrive pedal seeks to re-create the sag, spank, sparkle, and soak of a seminal script-lettered British amp head from the early 1960s. Onboard, a streamlined 2-band EQ section and a versatile Gain control deliver a compelling range of ’Breaker tones, from a bluesy clean to a wide-open throaty roar, along with a mid-forward crunch that’s straight out of “Dirty Deeds” or Live at Leeds. True bypass switching preserves your tone when disengaged from your signal path. And thanks to J. Rockett’s solderless Speed Switch replacement system, your .45 Caliber will never have to be benched for a gig due to normal footswitch wear and tear.
Big British tone
It’s hard to re-create the experience of plugging into a dimed British amp head, but that’s exactly what the .45 Caliber overdrive seeks to do. A surprisingly versatile gain range and powerful Bass and Treble shaping controls have what it takes to transform your clean combo into a face-melting stack. Dialing back the gain and output yields a nuanced bluesy breakup, with a responsive spank and sag that even veteran lead players will recognize immediately.
Speed Switch equipped
Footswitch failure is one of the most common stompbox repairs we. The .45 Caliber makes use of J. Rockett’s solderless Speed Switch system. Now, in the event of a switch failure, you can sub in another in seconds. The Speed Switch installs directly into a socket in the back and locks into place via the front panel.
