Mojo Hand FX announced the GRRRocker Overdrive on November 4, 2022, a charitable partnership with Girls Rock! Grand Rapids, according to Guitar World¹. The maker lists the pedal at $150.00².

The pedal is an overdrive with volume, tone and gain dials, described by Guitar World as a "super simple Blues Breaker-like overdrive"¹. A central push button switches between hard and soft-clipping styles, and an internal trim pot for distortion is accessible under the back panel¹. Delicious Audio, quoting the maker's notes, described the circuit as modeled after the Bluesbreaker and said the trimmer sits behind the back panel³.

The enclosure carries powder-coated artwork made with the campers, with doodles of ghosts, video game controllers, planets and cacti, per Guitar World¹. Mojo Hand FX said the pedal is "an original overdrive design featuring art from the talented youth involved in the program"².

Guitar World reported that all profits go to Girls Rock! Camps, with one pedal donated for every four sold to affiliated camps¹. The pedal takes its name from the riot grrrl movement of the early '90s and was reportedly conceived at the Girls Rock! Grand Rapids camp in 2019 before volunteers brought the idea to Mojo Hand FX¹. The camp is run by Grandville Avenue Arts And Humanities¹.

The pedal is available to order from the Girls Rock! Grand Rapids Bandcamp page, according to both the maker and Guitar World²¹. Delicious Audio described it as a limited edition available only on Bandcamp³. Guitar World reported a lifetime guarantee¹.
