Rockett Pedals Flex Drive

The Flex Drive is the most versatile overdrive pedal of the Rockett Pedals bunch and an MGF favorite.  

This is their attempt to achieve the "Malcolm" sound - which is one of the best rhythm tones ever. However, the Flex Drive will get you all the way to VH-2 which happens to be one of the best lead tones ever.

Luckily enough, all of the tones in between can be achieved - From amazing blues, to great country as well - That’s why it is called the Flex Drive. This is just an incredible tool for studio and live performances.

Rocektt included a "FAT" switch so you can customize the Flex Drive to Single Coil or Humbucker Pickups.  With the switch to the right the “FAT” effect is off and with the switch to the left the “FAT” effect is on.

There is 3 way treble switch for voicing your highs. The middle position offers no treble cut and the up and down positions are 2 different treble cut values
 

There is also a 3 way clipping switch. The middle position takes all diodes out - ideal for clean boosts (It is recommended you bring the gain down in this position). Up or down selects a different diode for different clipping sounds.

It is recommended that you start the Rockett Flex Drive with all control knobs at 12:00. When you apply a clipping diode you will have a slight drop in volume, but it brings compression and warmth to your sound. You have two types of diodes with two different sounds to choose from. This makes it very flexible for use with different amp/guitar combinations.

If you choose to run the Flex Drive with the clip switch in the middle you will remove any diodes from the circuit. By doing this you hit the opamp straight away so it can create fuzz type tones in higher gain positions. This was designed to work as your boost mode. Keep the gain down around 9:00 or less and the volume becomes your boost volume. You can make it clean or slightly dirty by feathering in the gain to taste. The sweet spot to this pedal is when you have some volume cooking around 1-2:00.

All Rockett Pedals operate off of the standard type 9v adapter, like our 9VPS, or a single 9v battery. The power input is a 5.5 mm x 2.1 mm jack wit the positive voltage on the outer sleeve. Using an external power supply will disconnect the battery. Disconnect the input jack to preserve battery life when not in use or when not used with an appropriate external power supply.
