The Rockerverb Series demonstrates better than anything else that a workhorse amp can be a master of all trades. The original Rockerverb was actually our first ever ‘high gain’ amplifier, with a unique voice that quickly became a firm favourite amongst the heavy crowd. However, its supreme versatility and dependability meant the series has been a mainstay for touring artists and session aces, both on the road and in the studio. The previous MKII version was voted in the top ten of Music Radar’s ‘Best Valve Combo Amps’ list, but the new Rockerverb 50 MKIII 2×12″ combines over a decade of user feedback with numerous improvements to the design. In a first for the Rockerverb Series, the MKIIIS includes selectable output power options to manipulate headroom and volume. This 50-Watt version switches down to 25w in half power mode, whilst the mains transformers have also been upgraded for better low-end response and articulation. The MKIII also features the same footswitchable attenuator that has been so popular with users of our Thunderverb and Dual Dark Series amps. The Clean channel has been re-voiced on the new MKIIIS for a more ‘chimey’ response, but still retains the warmth and vintage character of a non-master volume design. The new models now have even greater headroom than previous versions, whilst the valve-driven spring reverb now has a more extensive range with a brighter trail. Add to this a host of other hidden refinements, and you have the finest sounding and most feature-laden Rockerverb to date. •
