The 1484, Reborn
This isn’t a tribute or model - it’s a part-for-part analog recreation of the iconic 1963 Silvertone Twin Twelve amp. From the exact schematic to its JFET-based signal path, it captures every bit of the original’s raw, vintage voice in a rugged pedal format.

From Jangle to Fuzz
Set the gain low for bright, gritty edge-of-breakup tones. Push it to noon and you’re in classic 60s overdrive. Max it out, and it turns into a saturated, fuzz-like roar that channels early Zeppelin and Sabbath. All this with full dynamic response — roll your volume back and it cleans up beautifully.
Amp Feel Without the Tubes
Internally boosted to 18V, the Twin Twelve delivers the touch sensitivity, headroom, and harmonic complexity of a real tube amp — without needing one. Every note feels alive, reacting to your playing like a full-stack cranked on stage.
Classic Rock, On Tap
The Jackson Audio 1484 is a boutique overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary vintage amp circuits that defined classic rock tones. Designed to deliver smooth, dynamic overdrive with rich harmonic content and natural amp-like response, the 1484 offers a versatile gain range from subtle breakup to saturated distortion. Handcrafted with premium components and meticulous attention to detail, this pedal provides guitarists with authentic vintage tone and exceptional touch sensitivity for studio and stage use.
Stacked with Character
This is the pedal you reach for when tone needs personality. Not just transparent or mid-humped — but a voice that’s gritty, vintage, and unmistakably Silvertone. It gives your sound attitude, not just gain.
More Than a Pedal — It’s a Preamp
Run it straight into a power amp or FX return, and it becomes the preamp section of the original 1484. With the same tone stack and response, you’re carrying a classic American amp in your gig bag.
About Brad Jackson
Meet Brad Jackson - commercial pilot by day, tone perfectionist always. His journey from building world-class amplifiers to crafting precision guitar pedals is a story of innovation, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of sonic perfection. For a decade, Jackson Amp Works produced legendary amplifiers that graced stages worldwide, including John Mayer's Battle Studies World Tour. But when the music industry shifted toward digital modeling in 2018, Brad made a bold pivot: he closed the amp company and channeled that expertise into something new. Jackson Audio was born from this transition - not as a retreat, but as evolution. Every pedal carries the DNA of those amplifier years: the understanding of how tubes saturate, how circuits interact, and how musicians actually use their gear. Brad's approach combines the precision of aviation with the artistry of music, creating pedals that solve real problems for working musicians while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in a compact enclosure.
