*Don’t plug the Archer Ikon into an 18-volt adapter — you’ll blow its protection diode!
Whether you power it from a battery or standard 9-volt wall supply, Archer gives you tons of clean headroom and endless amp-driving potential. Internal circuitry boosts operating voltage up to 18 volts for expanded output and clarity, all without specialized converters or adapters.
This stunning re-creation of the iconic silver boost/OD gives you plenty of ways to shape your tone. Engaging the Archer’s Gain control introduces a sweet, harmonically rich mid-gain saturation. Rolling up the Treble takes you from a dark, nasal “squonk” to a midrange bark to a sparkling top-end chime. For all shades of classic crunch and beyond, the J. Rockett Archer pedal rules the roost.
The J. Rockett Archer is a high-headroom, “transparent” overdrive pedal packing coveted K-style harmonic saturation and plenty of clean output. Archer’s touch-preserving headroom and endless amp-pushing boost are the result of an internal charge pump that boosts its 9-volt operating voltage (battery or PSU) up to 18 volts. Reining in Archer’s interactive Gain and Treble controls yields a hard-won mid-gain crunch and velvety-smooth Gilmour lead tones. Whatever your gear, Archer remains extremely organic, responsive, and versatile — so whether you play singles and combos or humbuckers and stacks, the J. Rockett Archer plays nicely with all your guitars and amps.
