J. rockett audio designs Archer Select
The Archer Select is a uniquely functioning Boost/Overdrive. Over the years of K style pedals people have sworn by the influence of the proper NOS germanium clipping diodes in order for this particular design to be accurate to the original. There is so much speculation on the internet and certainly misleading information by the original designer. We decided to let your ears be the determining factor and to provide the ability for you to easily switch between 7 different clipping diode options.
If you simply leave the clipping diode foot switch off it defaults to the stock diodes (OA10’s). With the
clipping dial you can choose between 6 additional clipping diodes. Depending on which diodes you have the selector knob on you can A/B between the stock diodes and the selected diodes. Diodes range from lowest output to highest output when turning clockwise.
D.I. Speaker Simulator is something we included for those who like to be able to monitor their OD sound via
direct or have the option for direct recordings. The ground switch is solely there for the D.I. in case you have grounding issues.
