Rockett Pedals New Overdrive: El Hombre!

Introducing... the El Hombre!
I've been a fan of Rockett Pedals for an awful long time now and Mr Van Tassel was kind enough to send me their latest dirt box!
This pedal is super responsive to dynamics, has plenty of vintage style gain and a very useable tone range. I used it running into my Divided By 13 FTR37 set clean!

Love the tones and playing 😍...but don't like the pedal graphics...

[@tomatengarage5608]

Hi Rich. Awesome playing...I absolutely love your style. So weird, so different - in a good way! What was the topic of this Clip? Ah, the Rockett Pedal...(of course, just kidding...). Great sound. Hard to believe that your Amp was set for a Clean tone....is this true or are you "cheating"....??? (...just kidding again...). Great Sound!!! Greetings from Germany. Michael

[@RichardWatson]

Ha! Thanks so much, Michael!

[@tomdecuca3627]

These "vamps" or grooves you come up with are "other worldly"!! They immediately put me in frames of mind that hit on an emotional level. And, of course your playing is incredible too!! I want you to get the exposure you deserve. There are a lot of really good players out there, but playing something and writing something are two different things. You are different, Richard!!

[@RichardWatson]

This means a lot, Tom - thanks so much!

[@MadBallshorts]

Tasty as always Rich... love those left turn melodies that spring out of nowhere... seems like an awesome pedal too! My DGT doesn't sound like that ;( !!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks man! Honestly, I'm such a fan of Rockett stuff and have been many years now. They are the best "feeling" drive pedals around in my opinion. And thanks man, I miss writing so this was a nice holiday for me! Hope you're well, my friend!

[@jmp-es1gv]

Very tasteful indeed - some nice MCesque phrases - Thank you - this is a very good Friday!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks brother!

[@chrislestermusic]

Is that anew PRS? I haven’t seen that one before. Great demo!

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Chris! The burst? I've actually had it longer than my DGT but I'm such a trem junkie that my McCarty doesn't quite as much use!

[@peterjepps1229]

Nice groove, Happy Easter Rich

[@RichardWatson]

Thanks Peter!

[@jackbutler2732]

Beautiful playing and tone!

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you, Jack!

[@mattjazz3]

Man.. The tones you get always blow me away, Awesome dude!

[@stantissue2065]

Yes, that was nice. A lot of Jeff Beck inspiration in that demo. Since the plandemic started, I’ve spent a lot of time watching guitar videos. Rich is the only guy I stuck with. I guess primarily it’s because he is an instructor and I want to learn as much as I can, even though it doesn’t matter anymore from a professional perspective.. I learn something from every video. That’s a big compliment. There are a lot of great players with content on YT, but none of them are like Rich. One of us, but at the same time, one of them.

[@RichardWatson]

This made my day, Stan - thank you!

[@godawg1023]

Fantastic mid gain sounds!!! Absolutely killer!!!

[@RichardWatson]

Thank you, man!
