ABOUT
One of the first things that you will notice about the Rocket 88 Houserocker is that it is not a "fuzz" distortion pedal.
The Houserocker pedal provides tube like clipping distortion with a full range of clean to full grit. The LED's used to
provide the clipping produces a soft clipping distortion as the LED begins to conduct that is very similar to vacuum
tube distortion. The soft clip is visibly evident by the dim lighting of the LED on the face of the pedal and as the DRIVE
is increased the LED clips harder and begins to glow brighter, the brighter the LED, the harder the clip. The tone is very
close the vacuum tube distortion but without the overtones produced by tubes. Houserocker also features a 10db MID
BASS BOOST control to add a fat bottom end to your tone. As with all of the Lone Wolf products you will find this
pedal easy set and quick to find your favorite tones, this pedal is a great tool when vintage tone is desired. The Rocket
88 Houserocker offers all of this and a 60 day money back guaranty if you are not satisfied for any reason.
SETTINGS
Settings are very basic; for a clean tone turn the DRIVE counterclockwise and turn clockwise as you desire more distortion. Increasing the DRIVE also increases volume so you will need to turn the VOLUME control down to prevent feedback. It is really simple, increase drive and decrease
volume or decrease drive and increase volume. The Bass Boost will provide up to 20db of increased level in low frequencies that provides a lot of bottom for your tone.
POWER
The Houserocker operates off of a 9 volt battery or a 9vdc power adapter. The battery is switched off when an external power adapter is used saving battery life. The ac adapter requirements are 9V DC with a minimum 200mA output and a 2.1mm x 5.5mm
connector with a negative center and the outer positive. Power adapters for US and EURO customers to power their Rocket 88 Delay are available at the company store.
