The Optimist
Cory Wong signature dual overdrive: Klon circuit plus Timmy-style. Germanium diodes, 3-band EQ, MIDI.
Jackson Audio builds premium effects in Fort Worth, Texas, combining analog circuits with digital control features like MIDI and presets. Their collaboration-driven approach has produced signature pedals with Joey Landreth, Cory Wong, and Mateus Asato.
The Optimist was designed with Cory Wong. OD1 recreates the Klon Centaur using rare germanium diodes with the signature mid bump. OD2 is a Timmy-style circuit that stays flat across the frequency range, perfect as a harmonic enhancer or stacking with OD1.
Three-band Baxandall EQ with ±12dB per band. Stack both circuits or use independently. Full MIDI control over all parameters. Two footswitches for flexible live use. 9V operation.
