Description
The Rockaway Archer takes the familiar transparent overdrive concept and hands you real sculpting power over it, courtesy of a full six-band graphic EQ built right into the circuit. Co-developed with guitarist Steve Stevens, it was made to solve two problems at once: giving players a boost that shoves the front end of an amp harder than a standard Archer-style drive, and letting them carve the exact frequency response they need without reaching for a separate EQ pedal.
- Six-band graphic EQ with up to 18dB of cut or boost per band
- Simple volume and gain control layout
- Bands set at 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 800Hz, 1.6kHz, and 3.2kHz (left to right)
- Input/output jacks positioned at the top of the enclosure for tidy pedalboard routing
- True bypass switching
- Compact footprint at roughly 4″ x 2.50″
- Runs on standard 9V DC, negative tip, via 5.5mm x 2.1mm jack (30mA draw)
Each slider pushed up raises that frequency band’s presence and overall gain; pulled down, it thins things out and pulls back drive — so the EQ section doubles as a tone-shaping tool and a way to fine-tune how hard the pedal hits your amp. That range, from scooped and glassy to thick and saturated, makes this one drive pedal capable of covering a surprising number of overdrive voices on a board.
Internally, the pedal runs an 18V charge pump for extra headroom, but it must only be powered with a standard 9V negative-tip supply as labeled on the enclosure — never an 18V adapter.
