The GOKKO VINTAGEBOX is a guitar effects pedal made by Gokko, model number GK-33. Gokko describes it as an "American sound" pedal, modeled after a Fender 57 Deluxe amp, covering the range from pristine Fender clean to smooth overdrive1.
In other words, it is an overdrive pedal built to recreate the character of a vintage American combo amp rather than to stack heavy distortion on top of your tone. Gokko also makes amp-style pedals in the same vein, including the GOKKO PLEXIBOX and the GOKKO HI GAIN Box1.
What it does
The VINTAGEBOX sits in the amp-in-a-box category of overdrive pedals. Gokko says it is "modeled after a Fender 57 Deluxe amp" and delivers an American sound that runs "from pristine Fender clean to smooth overdrive"1. For a player, that means the pedal is aimed at the warm, mid-focused breakup of a late-1950s tweed Deluxe rather than the compressed mid hump of a Tube Screamer-style circuit or the aggressive clipping of a distortion or fuzz pedal.
At 11.9 x 9.4 x 3.8 cm and 0.35 kgs, it is a small, lightweight enclosure that fits easily on a crowded pedalboard1.
