In this review I'm showing the Rook Royale from Mojo Hand FX which is a killer sounding overdrive and boost pedal. This is basically a Rook overdrive with an added boost channel. The boost and Rook overdrive channels can be used independently and the boost has a boost and treble knob to control the amount of boost and the brightness of it. It also has a switch to control the position of the boost: in front or after the Rook overdrive.

Additional information from Mojo Hand FX:
Since it's release back in 2011 the Rook Overdrive has been hailed as the "New Standard of Boutique Overdrives" and has been seen on the pedal boards (and heard on albums) of numerous top shelf players including:
Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Ty Tabor (King's X), Andy Timmons, Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), Mato Nanji (Indigenous), Marlon Young (Kid Rock), Mike Zito (Royal Southern Brotherhood), Lance Lopez, Pepper Keenan (Down), Cody Canada and Seth James (The Departed), Ryan McGarvey, and others.
With it's tone stack (Baxandall) driven EQ section and 3 way voicing switch, the Rook's versatility has verged on uncharted territory for a small, simple 4 knob OD. It was this combination of versatility, sound/build quality and affordability that led to the Rook being named "Pedal of the Year" by What's That Dude Play in ______ .
Now........the standard is getting an upgrade.
