The J. Rockett Lenny is a boost pedal built as a recreation of the Dumble Steel String Singer's boosted, still-clean tone, with an SRV-inspired flair reflecting Stevie Ray Vaughan's mastery of that boosted-yet-clean sound. Rather than simply adding volume, it produces its own distinct color and texture, generating musical midrange character and improving dynamic range as it interacts with the front end of a tube amp. It uses a solderless Speed Switch footswitch system and is part of J. Rockett's Tour Series, aimed at players wanting a boosted Dumble-style clean tone rather than an overdrive.
The Keeley Mani's Iconic Overdrive is a signature overdrive pedal from Keeley Electronics designed around iconic vintage overdrive tonal character, delivering the warm, musical saturation associated with classic overdrive designs used by influential guitarists. The Mani's Iconic Overdrive reflects Keeley's extensive knowledge of vintage overdrive circuit history and their ability to synthesize iconic tonal character into a modern, reliable pedal.
