The Allan Holdsworth Signature OD/Boost was designed with Allan’s input to create a very versatile tool. This pedal gives you a very mild OD and a very “tweakable” boost section that allows for different EQ emphasis. By hitting the OD with the boost you can get some pretty scorching gain! Allan needed a pedal to combat backlines yet still achieve his signature sound and feel.

Power Supply
- All J. Rockett Audio Designs pedals operate off of the standard BOSS type 9 volt adapter or
a single 9 volt battery. The power input is a 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm jack with the positive voltage
on the outer sleeve. Using an external power supply will automatically disconnect the
battery. Disconnect the input jack to preserve battery life when not in use or when not used
with an appropriate, external power supply.
