J. Rockett PXO Phil X Signature Overdrive

The J. Rockett PXO is a Signature Overdrive (with boost) designed in collaboration with Phil X, known for being the main guitar force behind Bon Jovi’s music.

This pedal is a comprehensive tool for tone sculpting, akin to a studio-quality channel strip for your guitar, built with the best possible components – hence the high price tag.

It features two sections: Drive and Boost, each featuring a dedicated footswitch and significant controls.

Let’s take a look at what each knob does

Boost Section:

  • Tilt EQ: Adjusts character—more treble (clockwise) or more bass (counterclockwise).
  • Level: Adds output to boost your signal.

Drive Section:

  • Volume: Controls how hard the pedal hits your amp, shaping tone and feel.
  • Treble/Bass: Adjust top and bottom frequencies.
  • Gain: Works interactively with Volume to set overall gain.

Additional Feature:

  • Pre/Post Switch: Changes the cascading order of Drive and Boost sections.
  • Dedicated Footswitches: Independent activation of Drive and Boost sections.

The PXO’s controls interact dynamically, offering endless tonal possibilities for stage and studio use.
