Immerse yourself in the rich, vintage tones of The Beatles with Aclam Guitars' latest creation: the Go Rocky Go pedal. This innovative device captures the essence of the Vox Conqueror, offering guitarists an authentic experience that transports them back to the iconic era of Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album.

Unleash Authentic Beatles Sounds for Modern Performances

Vintage Vibes Reimagined

The Go Rocky Go is a meticulously crafted tribute to the legendary Vox Conqueror (S/N: 2004), focusing on its Brilliant Channel. This pedal delivers an accurate reproduction of the original M.R.B. (Mid-Range Boost) and built-in distortion effect while introducing enhancements for seamless live performances across various amplifiers. Musicians can now enjoy the distinctive fuzzy character of the Conqueror’s distortion, which stands apart from contemporary high-gain amps and pedals.In addition to faithfully recreating the classic sound, the Go Rocky Go introduces a new Crunch Mode. This mode bridges the gap between clean and distorted tones by slightly increasing gain and adding a touch of overdrive. Guitarists can fine-tune the amount of overdrive using an internal control, making it incredibly versatile. For instance, hotter pickups like those found in a Casino with P-90s will drive the gain even further, providing a richer, more dynamic sound.

Precision Control at Your Fingertips

The Go Rocky Go features a user-friendly design with two footswitches that access all four functions: Bypass, Distortion, M.R.B., and Crunch Mode. Independent volume control for the distortion effect allows users to match or boost output levels regardless of their guitar’s pickup strength. This ensures consistent performance whether playing softly or cranking up the volume. Furthermore, ultra-silent switching eliminates any clicks or pops, ensuring smooth transitions during live shows or studio recordings.Another standout feature is the Smart Track® Fastening System, which securely holds the pedal in place without compromising mobility. The wide voltage range—from 9V to 18V—offers flexibility in tonal options. At lower voltages, the pedal produces warmer, fuzzier tones, ideal for achieving a vintage feel. Conversely, higher voltages provide increased headroom, output volume, and sustain, perfect for modern applications requiring more bite and clarity.

A Journey Through Amp History

To understand the significance of the Go Rocky Go, one must delve into the history of the Vox Conqueror. Introduced in 1967 as part of Vox’s solid-state amplifier series, the Conqueror replaced the unsuccessful UL series and became a favorite among musicians, including The Beatles. These fully solid-state amps shared preamp circuits with other high-end models like the Defiant and Supreme but differed in power output and speaker configurations.The Conqueror introduced several groundbreaking features, such as the all-new distortion effect and the M.R.B. (Mid-Range Resonant Boost). These innovations played a crucial role in shaping the development of other effects, including the Clyde McCoy Wah-Wah. The Conqueror was used extensively during sessions for Magical Mystery Tour and The White Album, cementing its place in rock history.

Capturing Authenticity with Precision

Aclam Guitars’ commitment to authenticity is evident in their approach to developing the Go Rocky Go. They acquired a genuine Vox Conqueror in 2017 and spent years restoring, measuring, and tracing the circuit boards to ensure they captured every nuance of the original amp’s sound. This painstaking process allowed them to pack numerous features into a compact stompbox while staying true to the Conqueror’s signature tone.For example, the Go Rocky Go’s artwork pays homage to George Harrison’s iconic “Rocky” Stratocaster, a guitar famous for its vibrant psychedelic design. Featured prominently in the first-ever global satellite broadcast, this guitar symbolizes the creativity and innovation of the ‘67 Summer of Love. By drawing inspiration from Harrison’s colorful instrument, Aclam has created a pedal that not only sounds great but also looks stunning, making it a must-have for any guitarist who appreciates both form and function.
