Welcome to Rocky Road
We are a boutique company dedicated to auditioning and making available in the UK the finest examples of guitar amplification, pedals and related products.
We have over 40 years experience dealing with tube (valve) saturation gain & tone. We seek out manufacturers whose products offer the best possible build quality, component standard and, crucially, TONE. We specialise in finding and distributing versatile, dynamic, articulate-sounding tube and solid state amplifiers, FX and processing that lend themselves to a wide variety of playing techniques.
RD-1 Pitch Delay
RD-1 is built for real-time performance. The controls are spaced for live tweaking, with grippy rubber knobs, raised pointers, and carefully tuned tapers that make musical settings easy to find.

SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver Elite
Just as the original SansAmp was a personal mission to encapsulate tube amplifier sounds in a compact, portable pedal, inventor Andrew Barta has long been on a quest to do the same in the digital domain. Never one to jump on a bandwagon, Barta wouldn’t “go digital” until he found a way to replicate the dynamics, responsiveness and fluidity of its analog counterpart.
Geddy Lee Amalgamation Chorus
Housed in a compact pedal, the Geddy Lee Amalgamation offers an unusual amount of flexibility to achieve a variety of choral effects. It is capable of recreating the kinds of choral tones typically attainable only in a pro studio.
RD-1 Pitch Delay
The RD-1 Pitch Delay is a focused, musical digital delay with integrated pitch and frequency shifting. Based on our Raster, it’s designed for immediacy, hands-on control, and playful experimentation - without menus or modes.
Red Panda Radius
The Radius is a ring modulator and frequency shifter with pitch tracking and an advanced LFO. It is designed around a novel "eight-quadrant multiplier" algorithm that smoothly transitions from ring modulation to frequency shifting and allows different frequency ratios for the upper and lower tones. Radius puts complex harmonic structures, bell-like tones, metallic textures, frequency shifting, soft tremolo, and bubbly phaser sounds at your fingertips.
Marty Friedman SansAmp
An iconic guitarist who eloquently serves up enchanting and tearful melodies, as well as complicated notes that make your head spin, Marty Friedman surprisingly likes to keep his arsenal quite simple.
YYZ Shape-Shifter
The Geddy Lee MP40 Limited Edition Signature SansAmp sold out so fast, it made our heads spin. Out of respect for the limited number of MP40s featuring custom “Moving Pictures” inspired artwork, we are offering the Geddy Lee YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp. It has the same color scheme and graphics as Geddy’s other Signature SansAmps (GED-2112 rackmount, DI-2112 desk-top, and YYZ single footswitch pedal), with the same features and functionality of the MP40.
