Aclam Go Rocky Go

- TREVOR CURWEN

WHILE THE GUITAR sonics heard on Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band were the goal with Aclam’s Dr. Robert and The Mocker pedals, the Spanish company has now moved deeper into the Beatles’ discography — namely Magical Mystery Tour and The Beatles (better known as the White Album) — with Go Rocky Go, a pedal replica of the Vox Conqueror amp's preamp (that happily looks a lot like George Harrison's “Rocky” Strat). The Vox Conqueror, one of a solid-state range of amps that also included the Supreme and Defiant, was used by the Beatles for recording around '67 and '68, and can be seen in the band's "Hello, Goodbye” video
