The Blue Note Select is a “V2” of J. Rockett’s favorite circuit. The original Blue Note Pro Series was the first and that included the “Hot” switch. J. Rockett then introduced the Tour Series that did not have the “Hot” switch. The newest Blue Note Select not only has the “hot” switch but also includes major improvements to the looks, the sound and the overall feel, all in a very small package. They have gone so far as to have custom knobs made, a custom color mixed to achieve the electric blue you see and by far the biggest improvement is the low end both in and out of “hot mode”. This could be their best overall low gain drive. Low gain pedals can be a challenge because they skirt the line between boost and drive.
Blue Note Pro with Hot Switch In A Tour Enclosure Features:
J. Rockett’s suggestion for running the Blue Note Select - or any low gain drive pedal - is to let it breath with your amp. If you are using a clean amp and you rely on your OD pedal to produce your overdriven sounds it can be a challenge. Some of the negatives are that pedals can introduce a clean note underneath the overdrive giving it an unnatural drive sound.
J. Rockett finds the best results are when you get your amp just past the minimum edge of breakup or “Breathing” you can then add in a touch of overdrive to send it over the top. The Blue Note Select lets you add a subtle OD or you can get the internal clipping pretty hot as well. Either way, getting your amp into a gain structure that does start to breathe only makes any OD sound better. The trick with the Blue Note Select is that you have two gain structures giving a wide array of drive so you can vary your amp type. They like to use the Blue Note Select to really push a Marshall Plexi because you can really tweak your bottom end to match.
Please experiment because there are a good variety of sounds in a very simple setup.
