Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor
The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is a modern recreation of a true icon of '80s rock tone. Designed by the legendary Tom Scholz of Boston, the original Rockman X100 headphone amp was a studio secret weapon that defined the polished, chorus-drenched sound of arena rock. Now, MXR has captured the essence of that iconic device in a compact stompbox. At the heart of the Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is the same bucket-brigade chorus circuit that gave the original its shimmering, expansive modulation. Pair that with the pedal's four distinct presets - two pristine clean modes and two gritty, harmonically-rich distortion settings - and you've got a swiss-army knife of classic rock tones. The Edge mode delivers a touch-sensitive crunch that cleans up beautifully, while the full-bore Distortion setting dishes out soaring, singing lead lines. Crucial to the Rockman's signature sound was its complex compression circuit, which MXR has faithfully recreated. Adjustable Input Gain and Output Volume controls let you fine-tune the pedal's response, from sparkling cleans to snarling high-gain. And with the option to run the pedal in stereo, you can achieve an even more expansive, arena-ready tone. Whether you're chasing the polished sheen of '80s power ballads or the crunchy rhythms that defined the era, the MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor puts a piece of music history right at your feet. It's a must-have for any guitarist looking to tap into that iconic arena rock sound.
