The J. Rockett Blue Note is an overdrive pedal designed to provide a wide range of tones, from subtle bluesy warmth to more pronounced overdrive. Unlike typical tube screamers, the Blue Note offers a broader spectrum of gain and a more dynamic sound palette. The pedal features a “Hot” switch that adds more gain and volume while boosting the low midrange, resulting in a thicker and juicier tone.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the Blue Note can be adjusted to run with a flat EQ or to emphasise the mids when the “Hot” switch is engaged. The pedal also offers true bypass switching to maintain signal integrity when it’s not in use, and its compact size makes it a practical addition to any pedalboard.
In terms of power, the Blue Note runs on a standard 9-volt battery or power adapter. It draws just 8mA of current, making it energy-efficient for extensive use. The pedal measures 4.75 inches by 3 inches.
The J. Rockett Blue Note is available for purchase through authorised dealers and the manufacturer’s website.
