J. Rockett pedals at Lauzon Music
What J. Rockett is known for
Overdrives designed by players. Jay Rockett and Chris Van Tassel, both long-time session musicians, started the company in 2006 because they couldn't find the tones they wanted, and consulted other session players on the designs. The pedals are built in steel, about a pound each, and the Speedswitch system lets the footswitch be swapped in minutes with no soldering.
