Rocktron is a well-known brand in the guitar and effects industry, founded in 1983 by Bob Waller and Jim Chowning. It initially gained fame for its innovative noise reduction technology, especially the HUSH series, which is still highly regarded today. Rocktron expanded its product range to include a variety of effects pedals, amplifiers, and signal processors, with popular items such as the Metal World Distortion and Hypnotic Flange pedals. The brand has built a solid reputation for producing high-quality gear, used by renowned artists like Dave Mustaine, Slash, and Prince.

Rocktron pedals, like the Blackjack and Zombie Rectified Distortion, offer musicians a range of sound-shaping options. Many of their pedals are designed to complement heavy rock and metal playing styles, though they also provide noise reduction solutions, such as the Guitar Silencer. These pedals are favoured for their durability and the ability to handle complex signal chains while delivering excellent sound quality.
