The J Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

The Airchild Six Sixty simply makes you want to play more. It increases sustain without crushing your output, imparts richness to your overall tone, and adds feel to your playing. Our target tones were the slide tones of Lowell George and the singing lead/rhythm tones of Mark Knopfler.

The Team at J. Rockett aimed to provide a compressor that works like a studio compressor, enhancing harmonic richness and evening out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.

Key Features

  • Blend Signals – The Blend knob allows for blending the dry and compressed signals together for full control over the compression.
  • No Limits – Enhances harmonic richness and evens out transients without crushing the entire spectrum.
  • Recreates a Real Fairchild Compressor – Recreates the sonic nature of a real Fairchild 660 Compressor like a real studio compressor, and doesn’t just act like a limiter.

How the Fairchild 660 Compressor Inspired the J. Rockett

The Fairchild 660 studio compressor is consistently regarded as the best compressor ever made. For years, the original Fairchild 660 and 670 (Stereo) compressors have been extensively used in studios because of the sheer quality. This inspired J. Rockett to offer that sonic signature tone to the guitar community!

Controls

  • Controls – Output, Tone, Blend, Threshold.
  • Tone Knob – Tone knob controls a Tilt-EQ. (Clockwise: Boost High, Cut Low. Counterclockwise: Boost Low, Cut High).
  • Threshold Knob – Threshold knob controls the degree of compression.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Compressor

A compressor evens out the dynamics of a guitar signal by reducing the difference between loud and quiet notes. It adds sustain, tightens the overall sound, and can enhance clarity and consistency, making it especially useful for clean playing, funk rhythms, and smooth lead tones.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.
