Notable gear

Clockwork Echo

A discontinued analog BBD delay co-designed with Howard Davis (creator of the original Deluxe Memory Man), with digitally controlled tap tempo and dual expression inputs.

Airchild

The Airchild Six Sixty brings the tone of a legendary studio broadcast compressor to a pedalboard-friendly format.

Rockaway

A discontinued overdrive/EQ combo developed for guitarist Steve Stevens, pairing an Archer-style drive with a 6-band graphic EQ.

Archer Ikon OD

A germanium-diode tribute to the legendary 'golden' overdrive/boost pedal, voiced with slightly less gain and more warmth than J. Rockett's own Archer.

HRM V2

The Hot Rubber Monkey V2 recreates the overdriven tone of a legendary Dumble-style ODS amp with the HRM EQ mod, now with updated components for a more accurate voicing.

Univerb Chorus/Vibe

A discontinued, photocell-based analog recreation of the original Uni-Vibe with switchable chorus/vibe modes and a built-in spring reverb.

Hand Painted Archer

A 100-unit limited-edition run of J. Rockett's Archer OD, each one hand-painted and signed by artist Trisha Lurie, with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children's Hospital.

PXO

A combined overdrive/boost pedal designed with Phil X, with switchable pre/post boost ordering and a separate tilt EQ on the boost side.

Blue Note Tour

A discontinued, road-ready compact version of the Blue Note overdrive, identical in sound to the standard Blue Note but without the Hot switch.
