J. Rockett adds another Dumble-style drive pedal to the market – but this one features an ultra-rare mod

J. Rockett HRM V2

J. Rockett has unveiled the Hot Rubber Monkey V2 overdrive pedal – a Dumble-style stompbox that aims to distinguish itself from the rest of the Dumble-inspired pedal market with one key appointment.

The clue is in the name: the HRM V2 promises to deliver the heightened touch sensitivity, responsiveness and versatility of Howard Dumble’s ultra-rare Hot Rubber Monkey mod, which sought to fine-tune the drive tones of the guitar amp by way of additional gain stages and tonal options.
