I just purchased a new Rocket at the amp show last week from a great builder Don Morris.
He builds the Rockets and I had read about them and been interested from the first Guitar player review.
Well, I,am very happy with the simple design and tone,as this amp gets the great Marshall tones like I remember,I have been looking for an amp that can get Marshall crunch and Fender Cleans and this one does it.
The clean,s are able to get those Deluxe sounds and the great thing which I found on his circuit design is that the treble and mids and bass controls inter act to get some very interesting tones like if you set controls at 12 o'clock and then turn mids to 9 and bass to 4 and treble to 4 you will here some geat country tones that will sound very Fender crisp and jangle,this are O,clock setting not numbers settings,Turn mids to 3 and treble to 9 and now its bassman fatness.
So the controls create lots of different amp tones.
The lead channel is Plexi Marshall or overdriven Fender tones as per SRV had on his first LP,And you can gets the tones at lower volumes or full on volume.
Has a good master control,I have used the amp at 3 gigs so far and Very pleased with amp.
Hope you folks get to try one,remember if you do make sure to play with controls as they will groom your tones.
