Jackson Audio Golden Boy

Jackson Audio Golden Boy is a very flexible overdrive with 4 presets for clipping options, an innovative gain adjustment feature that we call GAIN CYCLE, and a 3 band active EQ for maximum tonal flexibility. To top it off, we added a boost circuit which is the same type of MOSFET boost circuit found on our top selling PRISM Preamp pedal.

The boost circuit is a MOSFET based boost much like the AMP MODE found in our best selling PRISM Preamp pedal. To activate/deactivate the boost circuit simply press the BOOST footswitch. One of the things that makes the boost different from other boosts is that it has 4 presets available. Each preset is EQ’d slightly differently.

The pedal allows for 4 different presets of clipping diodes which themselves drastically alter the tone and feel of the way the overdrive clips and distorts.

The most exciting feature of the GOLDEN BOY is the new GAIN CYCLE. GAIN CYCLE takes the GAIN knob setting, which selects your maximum gain, and divides that level of gain into 4 equal parts.

It’s 2020 and it’s time to expect more from an analog overdrive pedal! This pedal features MIDI control over clipping options, gain cycle options, boost eq options as well as ON/OFF of the overdrive and boost circuits and the GOLDEN BOY is no exception. If you want to use MIDI you’ll need the MJ-5P Disaster Area cable (sold separately).
