Rothwell make the best boutique effects pedals available. All the pedals are hand-made in the uk to the highest possible standards. The circuit boards are produced in the uk and assembled by skilled uk workers (aerospace industry certified), the cases are carefully polished and engraved in the uk, and the final assembley is done in the uk. The award winning sound quality is due to innovative circuit design by people who actually care. The circuits may be computer modelled and CAD systems may be used to calculate filter parameters but the end result is always subjected to the ultimate test - real world guitar playing and critical listening.

“Super-transparent and noise free. Ace”

“one of the best sounding distortion pedals we’ve ever stomped on”
Total Guitar Aug 2007

“when you hear how good it sounds you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it”
Guitarist Dec 2004

The Hellbender is an overdrive pedal which ranges from mild and bluesy to thick, singing lead tones. The filtering before, between and after each stage of distortion keeps the bottom end tight and clean and makes this pedal very touch sensitive.
details

The Hot Little Knob is a passive booster for Strats. It’s a push-pull control which replaces one of the tone controls and gives an increase in volume and fattens the tone by placing the bridge and middle pickups in series. With the switch in the down position, it acts as a normal tone control and everything is as stock. Neat.

F1Booster2

The F1 Booster is a clean boost pedal with a tone control to fine tune the bass and treble content of your signal and with a switchable mid range setting that will give a boosted or scooped mid range. The boosted midrange enhances Marshall style bark and the scooped setting gives a more jangly Vox or Fender sound, ideal for rhythm playing.

“This is a wonderful pedal”

SW1

“...distortion to spare and a foundation-cracking bottom end”
Music Mart Sept 2007

The Switchblade is a heavy rock distortion with more bottom end and more saturation than the Hellbender, but with the gain control backed off this pedal will also do a great job of lower gain rock tones.
details

CLK

The Cool Little Knob is an advanced coil tap for hunbuckers. It will add clarity and sparkle to the top end without the volume drop and thin bottom end which conventional coil taps suffer from.
details

Neck Adder

The Neck Adder allows you blend the neck pickup on a Strat with any other pickup combination, giving you the option of all three pickups together and bridge + neck pickups.
