The GOKKO AX10 is an acoustic guitar multi-effects pedal from Gokko, built as a floor unit that packs three analog effects into one box: delay, reverb and chorus12. It is aimed squarely at the amplified acoustic player, because alongside the effects it carries tools for the problem that plagues acoustic guitar on stage, feedback, with a Feedback control and a phase function to keep squealing in check2.
GOKKO's product listing describes the AX10 as a guitar multi-effects processor that "packs three highly musical analog effects into one affordable floor unit," and adds the maker's Feedback Control function for minimizing feedback at high volume1.
Controls: Feedback, Phase and Master Volume
The AX10's control set is small and focused on the amplified acoustic player's needs.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Feedback | Reduces squeaking and feedback at high volume2 |
| Phase | Phase function used alongside the Feedback control to fight feedback2 |
| Master volume | Sets the overall output level12 |
The Feedback control is the headline feature. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as a function "which lets you minimize the amount of feedback caused by high volume levels"1. The manual puts it more plainly: the AX10 "has a Feedback control to avoid squeaking and a phase function"2. The phase function works with the Feedback control, the standard two-pronged approach where shifting the phase of the signal can cancel the resonance that builds into a howl between the guitar body and the speakers.
The master volume control sets the unit's overall level12, which matters when you are feeding both a stage amp and a front-of-house console.
Power and Connections
The AX10 runs on a 9V power input rated at 500mA2, with the product listing specifying 9V DC, center negative1.
At 500mA, the AX10 draws far more current than a typical compact analog pedal. A small daisy-chain supply rated for a handful of 9V pedals may not keep up, so plan on a power source with enough current headroom.
For connections, the manual states that "the in-built canon head and 6.35mm out can connect to the sound console"2. The canon head is an XLR output, which means you can run a balanced line straight to a mixing desk without a separate DI box, while the 6.35mm output covers unbalanced connections to an amp or other pedals.
Where It Sits Among Multi-Effects
The AX10 is an unusual entry in the multi-effects category. Most multi-effects units are digital processors with dozens of amp models and effects, but the AX10 is analog, with just three effects, delay, reverb and chorus, and a focus on the acoustic player's practical problems: feedback control and a direct console connection2. That places it closer to the acoustic pedals world than to digital modelers.

Questions
Does the Gokko AX10 have an XLR output?
Yes. The AX10 has an in-built canon head, which is an XLR output, alongside a 6.35mm output. According to the Gokko Audio manual, both outputs can connect to the sound console, so you can run the pedal straight into a mixing desk for live or recording use.
Can the Gokko AX10 stop acoustic feedback?
It is designed to reduce it rather than stop it entirely. The AX10 has a Feedback control to avoid squeaking, plus a phase function. GOKKO describes its Feedback Control function as letting you minimize the amount of feedback caused by high volume levels, which is the usual approach for amplified acoustic guitar.
What power supply does the Gokko AX10 need?
The AX10 takes a 9V power input rated at 500mA, and the product listing specifies 9V DC with center negative polarity. That 500mA draw is well above what a typical compact pedal supply provides, so it needs a power source with enough current headroom.
Is the Gokko AX10 analog or digital?
It is analog. Both the GOKKO product listing and the Gokko Audio manual describe it as an analog unit, with the manual listing its three effects, delay, reverb and chorus, as analog effects in a single floor unit.
How big is the Gokko AX10?
The Gokko Audio manual gives the dimensions as 250mm x 82mm x 38mm. That is a long, low floor unit, roughly the footprint of a compact multi-effects pedal rather than a stompbox, sized to sit at your feet on stage.
