J. Rockett Audio Releases the Archer Select

J Rockett Audio Designs, releases the most versatile Archer to date: The Archer Select.


ā€œPlayers have been asking for a 2 in 1 Archer for years, so we gave them a 7 in 1,ā€ says Chris Van Tassel. The Archer select is a two-footswitch Archer with a DI. Chris continues ā€œThe right side engages an Archer-style circuit withOA10 diodes then engaging the left footswitch allows you to swap out the diodes with what was selected via the diode knobā€. Chris continues ā€œplayers can now switch between the Archer, iKon, Jeff Mod, and 3 other diodes ranging from low to high gain to create their ideal overdrive, use it as a boost, or to really drive their amp hardā€. For added versatility a DI was included with a ground switch to reduce hum.ā€ We added a 4X12 British inspired speaker emulation to the DI or players who play or record direct all in a simple formatā€.

The Archer Select Features:

  • Right footswitch engages Archer style overdrive with OA10 diodes
  • Left footswitch when engaged swaps the diodes with 6 possible selections including the diodes found in the Archer, iKon, and J Mod Archer plus additional diodes arranged from lowest to highest gain settings
  • DI with British 4X12 style speaker simulation

The Archer Select is available for $329.99 via select dealers.
