The Rockbox Electronics Boiling Point has been awarded a Premier Gear Award in the November issue of Premier Guitar.
The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.
“Using just the neck pickup with the Volume almost all the way up and the tone rolled off," writes reviewer Chris Burgess, "I got just about the sweetest, juiciest woman tone you could imagine: sustaining and heavy with overtones, and so creamy and articulate without a trace of bite. That sold me right off the bat, but as I continued to experiment with other combinations, I discovered a veritable library of overdrive flavors that took me through several decades of my mental tone catalog." Burgess awarded the Boiling Point a 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“Premier Guitar continues to be the coolest mag out there," says owner Chris Campbell. "The Boiling Point owes its existence to all the guitarists out there who have really great ears and unbelievably atrocious attitudes when it comes to dismissing the latest new thing. Ron Veliz, you know who you are. Without his gleeful negativity, this pedal might never have been born. I was extremely lucky to have access to a great pair of ears, stuck on Mr. Skeptical."
"We just don't liberally give out these Premier Gear Awards," says Premier Guitar's managing editor Gabe Hernandez. "When you see a guitar or piece of gear with the Premier Gear Award logo on it, that means it earned it! It passed some serious inspection criteria from reviewers that are either working musicians, fellow gearheads, studio engineers, or some other professional music junkie, that's working hard to give our readers the necessary information they need to make a decision on that product. We love gear, and it shows in everything we do--and especially in our Premier Gear Awards."
