• New "HOT RUBBER MONKEY V2" from J. Rockett Audio Designs!

  

  2023/10/13

  HOT RUBBER MONKEY from high-end effects pedal brand J. Rockett Audio Designs has been renewed and newly introduced as "HOT RUBBER MONKEY V2"! It reproduces the distortion of the Dumble-type overdrive special amp with the HRM EQ MOD even more thoroughly than the previous model. Focusing on the low-mids, it delivers a rich tone that ranges from a core yet delicate sound to a punchy, fat sound. Using the best NOS parts has also resulted in a dramatic improvement in touch sensitivity and response speed compared to the previous model. This is the long-awaited re-release of a pedal that is easy to handle from clean to drive and produces the rich expression typical of Dumble-style amps!
