J. Rockett Monkeyman - Classic Tweed Overdrive and Reverb

The J. Rockett Monkeyman - Vintage Tweed Tone with Built-In Reverb

Classic Tweed Tone Inspired by Iconic Hits

The J. Rockett Monkeyman captures the signature sound of classic tweed amplifiers, delivering the gritty cleans and roaring drive that defined songs like “Funk #49,” “Hotel California,” and “Kid Charlemagne.” This pedal brings the sought-after tones of vintage tweed amps into a compact format, complete with a lush spring reverb that adds rich, atmospheric depth—a feature not found on classic tweed amps. With the Monkeyman on your board, you can achieve a complete, timeless tone with just one pedal.

Dynamic Control with Speaker Breakup

The Monkeyman includes a unique Speaker Breakup control, allowing you to dial in everything from clean, warm tones to intense, “exploding speaker” distortion. This control simulates the natural compression and break-up of vintage tweed amps, adding authenticity and versatility to your sound.

Responds Like a True Tweed Amp

One of the key characteristics of the Monkeyman is its dynamic response, designed to react just like a classic tweed amp when paired with other pedals. Push it with a fuzz, overdrive, or boost pedal, and the Monkeyman responds with natural compression, just like a vintage tube amp, making it a great addition to any pedal chain.
