Aclam Guitars The Mocker

Aclam Guitars The Mocker is a vintage Beatles-inspired fuzz that is based on the legendary VOX UL730. It is a limited edition run of 200 pedals, so you will want to move fast if you are looking to get one.

This is the company’s second Beatles-inspired pedal, as the Dr Robert was released back in 2019.

Vintage Fuzz

The fuzz pedal has intuitive bias and tone controls for vintage nostalgia with modern tones. To preserve the authenticity and spirit of the original UL series, rare N.O.S (New Old Stock) Phillips OA200 diodes are used in the circuit.

Another interesting ‘artist-inspired’ effect from Aclam and worth checking out if you want that ’60s Beatles fuzz tone.

MSRP -EUR 309

Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6 Ash

This new Jackson Limited Edition Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6 Ash signature model is a really nice modern shred-style guitar. Key specifications for this guitar include a sandblasted ash top on a basswood body.

This is paired with a through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and an ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets. Plus, it has the sharkfin pearloid inlays and a set of Luminlay side dots that glow in the dark.

This signature model guitar also comes with a pair of Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Signature Blackouts. It has a three-way toggle switch and a single volume control with active electronics, so there is a range of heavy tones on offer.

Hardware includes a Hipshot hardtail bridge and a set of locking strap buttons.

A great-looking all-black take on the classic Kelly body shape and with some nice stripped-back features.

MSRP – GBP 1549

Finally, the analog chorus is based on their  Empress Deus Chorus and uses an NOS MN3007 bucket brigade chip.

It is a pretty full-on synth pedal and each one is hand-built and numbered, with around a maximum of 100 being available before the end of the year.
