Aclam AP0140 Go Rocky Go

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Aclam AP0140 Go Rocky Go is a guitar effects pedal designed as a recreation of the sonic spirit of the Vox Conqueror, an amplifier closely associated with some of George Harrison's most recognizable sounds. Its goal is to bring that character into pedal format, with a response tailored for players seeking that type of saturation, color, and presence without relying on the original amplifier.

In practical use, it’s very user-friendly: with just two footswitches, you can access Bypass, Distortion, M.R.B. (Mid-Range Boost), and Crunch Mode, allowing you to switch from a clean, defined tone to a smooth crunch or a more “fuzzy” distortion effortlessly on stage.

Additionally, the distortion features an independent volume control to balance levels, and it supports 9V to 18V power supply options to tweak the response: at 9V, the tone tends to be warmer with a more “fuzzy” distortion, while at 18V, you get more headroom and a tighter attack. The switching system is designed to be ultra-quiet, with no clicks or pops.

• Sound replica of the Vox Conqueror
• Electric guitar effects pedal
• Distortion with independent volume control
• Design inspired by Rocky from George Harrison
• Power supply from 9V to 12V

RECOMMENDED USE

This pedal is especially suitable if you already have a good grasp of your amplifier’s basics and want to add a “amp-in-a-box” with a very specific personality beyond typical overdrive. You'll find it easy to dial in your tone because the Normal and Crunch modes provide two very musical foundations, and from there, you can push the distortion and M.R.B. depending on what the song demands.

If you value tone and versatility on stage or in the rehearsal space, this is a straightforward tool to change character with your foot while keeping everything under control. And if aesthetics matter for your pedalboard, the Rocky Strat-inspired design adds a special touch without compromising functionality for playing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it a standard overdrive or does it behave like an “amp-in-a-box” preamp?

It functions as a pedal-based preamp inspired by the Brilliant channel of a Vox Conqueror, so its core character is based on that “amp-like” tone. You can then add Crunch or Distortion to go from a slightly broken-up sound to a more vintage-style distortion.

What’s the difference between powering it at 9V and 18V?

At 9V, the tone is warmer and the distortion feels more “fuzzy.” At 18V, you gain more headroom, higher output volume, and a distortion with more sustain and bite.

Can I activate the distortion alone, without the clean preamp?

No: to use the distortion, the pedal must be turned on (bypass engaged). The idea is that the distortion is part of the overall sound, not two separate pedals.
