OVERDRIVE- J ROCKETT AUDIO DESIGNS Archer Select. ___NEW ___ Version 2 ???

J ROCKETT AUDIO DESIGNS
 ARCHER SELECT 
$330.00 USD 
WTF
The Silver Archer is their take on cloning a Klon and the select is the same
pedal but with choices of clipping diodes. 
The old one had a couple this has 7. The layout is volume, gain and tone with 
a rotary switch to choose diodes.
A real Klon is virtually a clean boost with a hardclipper OD not unlike a Boss SD2 pedal. It uses a pair of stacked pots so when you turn up the gain 
the boost turns down and the OD turns up with a bit of both at 
around 10 o'clock.
CONCLUSION
If you want 99% close to the original get the Harby Pedals Centauri. 
It uses the real exact clipping NOS diodes not NOS substitutions and 
it is only $150.00 USD.
This is just another hardclipper actually not overly expense to make
with a price that is a total gouge. An average $200 pedal with a
$130 Idiot Tax. Come to think of it ...it is a fair price, lol

  1. The pedal however does sound very good - especially in Andy's ToneReport video on YT.
