J.Rockett Audio Designs Blue Note Select: Our Best Overall Low Gain Drive

The Blue Note Select is a “V2” of our favourite circuit. The original Blue Note Pro Series was the first and that included the “Hot” switch. We then introduced the Tour Series that did not have the “Hot” switch. The newest Blue Note Select not only includes the “hot” switch but also includes major improvements to the looks, the sound and the overall feel, all in a very small package. We have gone so far as to have custom knobs made, a custom colour mixed to achieve the electric blue you see and by far the biggest improvement is the low end both in and out of “hot mode”. This could be our best overall low gain drive.

Key Features

• Dual Gain Structures: Includes the acclaimed “Hot” switch, providing two distinct gain structures for a wide array of drive tones.
• Improved Low-End Response: Features a major improvement in the low-end frequencies, providing a fuller sound both in and out of “hot mode”.
• Custom Design & Feel: Comes in a compact enclosure with a custom-mixed electric blue finish and custom-made knobs for a premium look and feel.
• Transparent Overdrive: Designed to blend seamlessly with your amp’s natural edge-of-breakup tone, so much so that you can’t tell you are using a pedal.

The Art of Low Gain

Low gain pedals can be a challenge because they skirt the line between boost and drive. Our suggestion is to let it breathe with your amp. We find the best results are when you get your amp just past the minimum edge of breakup or “Breathing” you can then add in a touch of overdrive to send it over the top. The Blue Note Select lets you add a subtle OD or you can get the internal clipping pretty hot as well. The trick is that you have two gain structures giving a wide array of drive so you can vary your amp type. Please experiment because there are a good variety of sounds in a very simple setup. The best praise we have received about the Blue Note Select is that you can’t tell you are using a pedal.
