Roger McGuinn

You simply cannot overstate the influence on popular music of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and founder of the Byrds, Roger McGuinn. Through timeless Byrds’ classics like “Turn! Turn! Turn!,” “Eight Miles High,” and “Mr. Tambourine Man,” he essentially invented the concept of jangle guitar. In his more than four-decade career, Roger has explored a vast array of music, but he continues to mine the jangle sound today with his signature Rickenbacker 370-12RM.

“I tried your wonderful JangleBox with my 370/12RM using the non-compressed setting on the guitar. It sounded just like the built-in compressor! Over the years, I’ve received a lot of e-mail from guitarists asking me to recommend a compressor that got the Byrds’ sound. This is the box everyone has been looking for! The JangleBox is now the best-sounding compressor on the market in my opinion — I use it all the time. It’s clean and quiet.”
