## Summary

Rik Emmett, guitarist and vocalist with Triumph, has teamed up with Mojotone to announce the Rock & Roll Machine, a guitar preamp and tone-shaping pedal inspired by his classic Triumph sound. It combines gain, EQ and boost in one unit, giving players a way to shape rhythm and lead tones without adding other pedals.

The pedal is designed to evoke the grit of a cranked 50-watt Plexi amplifier and includes a three-band EQ, a Fat/Skinny knob and an “Oomph” switch. The announcement follows Triumph’s cancellation of the rest of its 2026 reunion tour because of sudden medical circumstances affecting the band; the group said the outlook was positive and it hoped to return to the stage.
