Jackson Audio Golden Boy Overdrive Pedal

Slide master and modern guitar hero Joey Landreth prefers his overdrive transparent, full of detail, and soaked in harmonics. So, he and Jackson Audio collaborated to create his ultimate transparent overdrive: the Golden Boy. Based around a bluesbreaker-style overdrive circuit (Joey’s favorite), the Golden Boy is a versatile tone machine, which, like Jackson Audio’s Broken Arrow overdrive, is loaded with four clipping diode presets, a MOSFET boost circuit, and a 3-band Baxandall-style EQ for putting the final touches on your tone. Additionally, the Golden Boy includes Jackson Audio’s innovative Gain Cycle feature, which allows you to ramp up the pedals maximum gain across four progressively heavier gain settings. And all of Golden Boy’s parameters are controllable via an external MIDI footswitch — an attribute gigging guitarists at Music Bliss love. For those familiar with Joey Landreth’s work, you know that he is an unabashed tone chaser, and the Golden Boy reflects his dedication to classy, crunchy, and cool 6-string sonics!
