Made in collaboration with J.Rockett Effects and guitar legend Phil-X the PXO Boost and Overdrive offers a taste of Phil Xs signature gain tones in a pedalboard-friendly package. Its overdrive has a thick low end that you can really lean into, perfectly partnered with a sweet and musical top end. It’s an overdrive that gets better the more dynamically you play, it feels natural and responsive and hits hard the more you dig in. Its boost section with tilt EQ lets you dial in the perfect lead tone that cuts through anything! The pre or post-switch lets you choose between boosting the pedal’s overdrive circuit for even more gain and harmonics or boosting your overall signal to drive your actual amp even harder and increasing its volume.
Key Features
- Phill-X Signature Sound – Make your amp sing with rich, thick tones and smooth, clear top-end.
- Boost & Overdrive – Dedicated Boost and Overdrive sections, each with individual EQ and Gain controls. Use each side independently or in series.
- Cascading Options – Versatile cascading option for pre- or post-boost to shape drive and EQ.
Here’s what J.Rockett says about the Phil-X PXO Overdrive and Boost pedal:
The PXO was created as a live or studio tool. When we sent Phil the overdrive sample he found that it saved him in backline situations and provided him a drive that plays well with others. The PXO is an overdrive/boost where you can select pre or post giving you variety in how you want to boost, EQ and overdrive. We have provided standard controls on the overdrive side such as Volume/Gain/Overdrive and EQ but on the boost side, you have a separate Tilt EQ that allows you to EQ with simplicity. You can experiment by cascading in a pre or post-situation and experiment from there. The PXO has a lush, thick feel to the bottom end and a smooth top end that begs you to dig into the note.
