here at Just Pedals we love this J Rockett 45 Caliber Overdrive Pedal.

The J Rockett Caliber 45 brings the classic 1962 JTM45 sound that has been used in rock and pop for years and years to the pedalboard. Influenced specifically from the old rig used by AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young the 45 Caliber has a stunning bright, mid gain tone that has a long history of iconic players.

Classic Black & Gold Tone

The 1962 JTM45 is extremely popular for its low to mid gain tone that was used in classic rock from the mid 60’s to the modern day. It was at the time a radical new amp that featured incredible amounts of smooth overdrive that no other amp had at the time. This pedal captures that era perfects with enough gain to handle bluesy leads but enough headroom to give you that slightly dirty strat sound as well.

Simple To Set Up

The 45 Caliber is really simple to get up and running. With a two band EQ covering the vital Treble and Bass frequencies as well as Volume and Gain controls you can dial in everything from a black and gold coloured boost to a full on tone takeover with plenty of gain.

Here’s what J Rockett say about the 45 Caliber

The new .45 Caliber is a pedal we have been asked to create for some time now. It is a recreation of the original 1962 JTM 45 sound, overdriven. The sonic influence came directly from the old Malcolm Young, brilliantly crunchy rhythm tones and the old Pete Townsend Live at Leeds, “face-melting” goodness! To achieve that sound seems like an easy task but this design proved to be quite a challenge. After a year or so we feel we have nailed it, not only in sound, but also in feel.

The .45 Caliber also takes advantage of the new “Speed Switch” system.

Overdrive

Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.

The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
