MXR MX100 Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor

Product information "MXR MX100 Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor"

It's back!!! - The legendary Rockman X-100 headphone amp from 1982, developed by Tom Scholz, the guitarist from Boston- the iconic sound of the early 80s. The device was sensational at the time - a stereo headphone preamp with 4 basic sounds and switchable stereo chorus and short delay - all analogue, of course. Prominent users at the time were ZZ Top (Eliminator and Afterburner), Joe Satriani (Surfing with the Alien) and Def Leppard, who recorded the entire Hysteria album with the Rockman. The old rockers among you may remember the Rockman adverts with the slogan "The 10000 $ Guitarsound that fits in your hands".

With the MX100, MXR has packed the classic Tom Scholz X-100 into a compact floor pedal and given the preamp some contemporary updates. As with the vintage version, the legendary 4 basic sounds are available: Clean 1, Clean 2 - the classic "egg slicer" straight into the console sounds of the 80s with heavy compressor use, Edge a dynamic crunch sound that reacts to attack and input signal and finally Distortion - a singing 80's lead sound with long sustain. If you then activate the analogue stereo chorus, the sun rises! With an optional MXR TRS Split + Tap footswitch, the 4 basic sounds can be selected directly or the TRS stereo output can be split into right/left mono - very clever for live use.

Je retrouve le superbe son des années 80 , en plus au format pédale. Mieux que l'original.

Bin sehr zufrieden Edge ist mein Sound bei chrunch, bei Solo nur noch den Humbucker rein, und ich wüsste nicht was noch fehlt. Ein Boss RV-6 schalte ich für manche Soundorgien manchmal nach. Ich bin Happy. MFG. Peter

Se siete fan degli anni 80 è un must: tutto analogico, con 2 fader e 2 miniswitch ci si diverte parecchio. Da usare rigorosamente in modalità stereo (c’è uno switch interno che permette di passare da mono a stereo e si apre un universo) con un cavo TRS e con effetti rigorosamente in stereo. Unica pecca: avrei preferito due switch controllabili con i piedi per cambiare i canali in due direzioni e non solo in una, per il resto spettacolare.

Back to the 80‘s

Endlich! Der Sound ist zurück! Klingt sehr authentisch! ….vielfältig einsetzbar. …fehlt eigentlich nur noch der 2. Footswitch f. d. Chorus.
