Item Details: Add some elusive boutique muscle to your pedalboard with this fascinating RJM Red Rooster Clone Variant boost pedal, coming straight from the unlocked vault of legendary guitar tech Zeke Clark. Labeled as unit #56, this unique booster arrives completely unmarked on the chassis, giving it the mysterious aura of a true custom workshop creation. The pedal is in very good, like-new condition and successfully powers up when plugged in, though it is offered completely as-is. Complete with a Certificate of Authenticity, this rare and anonymous tone-shaper is the perfect catch for players and collectors looking for a specialized piece of gear with an undisputed rock and roll pedigree.
Provenance/Authenticity: Randall "Zeke" Clark is a renowned luthier and legendary guitar/amp technician who got his start in the San Francisco music scene in the 70s, working with various A-list artists until moving to LA in the 80s, where he worked for Eddie Van Halen.
From 1985 to 1993, he served as Edward Van Halen’s lead guitar and amp tech, transitioning to the crew with Sammy Hagar to maintain the band's gear through the monumental 5150, OU812, and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge eras.
Beyond his historic tenure as the custodian of Eddie's tone, Clark's elite five-decade career includes building, repairing, and maintaining specialized gear for iconic artists such as Prince, Sammy Hagar, Journey, Heart, Poison, and others. This curated selection of items offers collectors a unique and direct connection to rock history through the hands of a master craftsman who shaped the sound of guitar royalty.
This item was personally handled, vetted, and released by Zeke Clark, ensuring its authenticity and rock-history provenance. Zeke Clark utilizes an Official Personal Signature Stamp to validate and inventory documents and artifacts released directly from his private estate. This item comes with his personal ink-imprinted signature stamp on the certificate of authenticity, which serves as his legally binding, authorized mark of verification and carries the full weight of a hand-signed signature.
Eddie Van Halen changed rock guitar playing after the band's 1978 debut, where the instrumental "Eruption" brought two-handed tapping to a mass audience and influenced a generation of players. He was also known for constantly modifying and building his own equipment in pursuit of his "brown sound," which made the role of his technicians central to how his tone was achieved on stage and in the studio. With Sammy Hagar on vocals, Van Halen reached new commercial heights: 5150, OU812 and For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge each topped the Billboard 200, and the last earned the band a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance.
