JACKSON AUDIO × JOEY LANDRETH

Transparent overdrive. Flexible by design.

Golden Boy combines open, dynamic overdrive with four clipping voices, four gain levels, active EQ, an independent boost, and MIDI control.

FOUR CLIPPING VOICES

Choose the response.

01

CLASSIC SCREAMER

Tight and mid-forward.

Two symmetrical silicon diodes create smooth, controlled drive that works especially well when pushing an amplifier already beginning to break up.

02

ASYMMETRICAL CLIPPING

Responsive and harmonically rich.

Three asymmetrical silicon diodes clip each side of the waveform differently, adding texture while preserving pick attack and chord definition.

03

SYMMETRICAL CLIPPING

Focused with more headroom.

Four symmetrical silicon diodes provide an immediate, controlled response designed to remain clear and present in a full mix.

04

RED LED CLIPPING

Open and amp-like.

Symmetrical LED clipping provides a wider, less-compressed response suited to edge-of-breakup sounds and expressive slide playing.

GAIN CYCLE

Four gain levels.
One knob setting.

25—100%

Set the GAIN control as your maximum level. Press both footswitches to move through four equal stages without bending down to adjust the pedal.

The Baxandall-inspired EQ provides ±12dB of boost or cut for bass, middle, and treble. Center-detented controls return to a flat response at noon.

BST Independent boost Four selectable EQ voices +

Use the boost with or without the overdrive and choose from Bright, Mid, Tailored, or Full boost responses. The independent signal path also lets you place the boost before or after the drive.

MIDI MIDI control Remote selection and switching +

MIDI provides remote control over drive and boost bypass, clipping selection, Gain Cycle level, and boost EQ presets.
