  • Page 4: Overview

    Overview At this point, it’s unnecessary to state that we’re Beatle-nerds. You may already be familiar with the Dr. Robert and The Mocker pedals, both based on different circuit sections of the Vox UL730, the amp used on the Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s albums. Following this lineage, it was time for the next amp used by the Fab Four to receive the Aclam treatment and be transformed into a pedal.
  • Page 5 This time, we aimed to pack as many features as possible, and we’re incredibly proud of the result. The Go Rocky Go is a carefully crafted replica of our Vox Conqueror (S/N: 2004) Brilliant Channel, faithfully reproducing the M.R.B., the built-in Distortion effect, and incorporating a few refinements to make it ideal for live use with a wide range of different amps.
  • Page 6 But that’s not all. The Go Rocky Go has a hidden mode. While adapting the circuit and trying to match it with different White Album guitar tones, we thought: wouldn’t it be cool to have a tone that sits between the...
  • Page 7 Sonic Blue, which George hand-painted using dayglo polish in 1967. This guitar was featured during the first-ever globally broadcast event, All You Need Is Love. The Go Rocky Go pays tribute to this legendary instrument with a Sonic Blue base finish and vibrant, colorful artwork.

  • Page 8: Features

    To match the Go Rocky Go’s tone to the original amp, we tested numerous inductors for the M.R.B. until we finally ordered custom ones. The same attention...
  • Page 9 This issue is now solved, you can even make the Distortion effect louder, ideal for solos or lead parts! MULTIFUNCTION FOOTSWITCHES: To make it easy to control all of the Go Rocky Go’s features, we faced the dilemma of either adding three footswitches (one for Bypass, Distortion, and M.R.B.),...
  • Page 10 18V, we found that the Distortion had an interesting, compressed character when running at lower voltages. We adapted the Go Rocky Go circuit to operate safely between 9V and 18V, allowing the user to experiment and find their preferred setting.
  • Page 11 We found this incredibly inspiring and wanted to pay tribute to one of our guitar heroes by recreating that artwork on the Go Rocky Go. ULTRA-SILENT TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING: We made a dedicated effort to ensure that switching from bypass to on is as silent as possible. You won’t hear any popping noise in the audio path, no matter how quiet the playing environment is.

  • Page 16 BYPASS / CRUNCH MODE SWITCH: Engages the unit, allowing the signal to flow through the Go Rocky Go circuit. It also lights up the white LED above it. Hold it for 1.5 seconds to switch from Normal Mode to Crunch Mode (LED turns blue). BASS: Adjusts the low-frequency content.
  • Page 17 M.R.B. SELECTOR: The Mid-Range Resonant Boost has three selectable frequencies: • 1 boosts at approximately 500 Hz • 2 boosts at approximately 700 Hz • 3 boosts at approximately 1 kHz This selector switches different capacitors in the resonant circuit, which may produce a slight click noise when adjusting it.
  • Page 18 The Attack-Sustain knob adjusts the amount of gain for the Distortion effect. • Turn it clockwise for increased saturation and sustain. Keep in mind that the Go Rocky Go is not two independent pedals in one, to use the Distortion effect, the bypass LED must be lit.
  • Page 19 DIST. VOL: The Conqueror’s Distortion circuit had a fixed output volume, making it difficult to balance the clean and distorted levels. We solved this issue by incorporating an independent Distortion Volume control, allowing you to match them, or even make the Distortion effect louder! DISTORTION SWITCH: Activates the Go Rocky Go’s Distortion effect.
  • Page 20 Internal control CRUNCH GAIN: Fine-tune the amount of overdrive (Factory set to max.).

  • Page 21: Normal Mode

    NORMAL & CRUNCH MODES: The Go Rocky Go features two distinct clean preamp modes: Normal Mode and Crunch Mode. NORMAL MODE In Normal Mode, the pedal accurately reproduces the clean channel of the original Vox Conqueror preamp. This mode is indicated by the Bypass LED lit in white.

  • Page 27: Setting Up On A Pedalboard

    Setting up on a pedalboard All our effect pedals use a custom light aluminum enclosure specially designed to fit our Smart Track ® pedalboards. We incorporated a proprietary locking system which allows the user to fasten the pedal without the need of using the typical hook and loop method. This custom fastening system follows the same philosophy behind the Smart Track fasteners but...
  • Page 28 HOW TO MOUNT IT ON A SMART TRACK ® PEDALBOARD: Add the anti-sliding rubber pad at the bottom of your pedal, specially shaped for this unit. Surface must be clean and dry before applying adhesive pad. Loosen the 2 thumb screws to unlock the bottom pieces out of the pedal.
  • Page 29 Place the pedal, inserting the bottom pieces inside the grooves. Move the pedal to its final position.
  • Page 30 Tighten the two thumb screws with your hands or with a screwdriver. USING OTHER PEDALBOARDS: Hook and Loop: Take the included super strong Velcro ® pad and stick it on the base plate. Again, make sure the base is clean of dirt and dust. Pre-drilled pedalboard: Fix it with a bolt and a nut you could find at any hardware store or instead of passing the zip tie over the pedal you can take advantage of the Smart...

    100 mA. PEDAL SOUNDS DISTORTED AT REALLY LOW SETTINGS: The Go Rocky Go is a really dynamic pedal the same way the original amp is. Different types of guitars and pickups will make it saturate in different regions of the knobs.

The Go Rocky Go has reverse polarity protection, but it is highly recommended to unplug the power supply to prevent any possible damage.significantly increased on your Cinnamon Drive; the next pedal in the chain or your amp might not have enough headroom for the incoming signal and it’ll clip.
