In honoring the tradition of the original, MXR’s Rockman X100 is built around a complex compression circuit tasked with keeping the signal clear, whether the mode is clean or dirty. Directly tied to the Input Gain, the circuit is tuned for a slow release when a clean mode is activated and a fast release on dirty modes. The result is a concentrated force of sound that cuts through both live and studio mixes. Key Features:
- Pedal-sized revival of Tom Scholz’s 1982 Rockman X100, the secret studio weapon that defined the textured guitar tone of '80s arena rock
- 2 clean and 2 dirty tone presets, identical to the original headphone amp
- Dedicated volume and input gain sliders provide hands-on tonal control
- A complex compression circuit provides dynamic and intuitive release
- Lush, expansive chorus modulation courtesy of an original bucket brigade chip
- Multiple advanced features, including off-board switching and stereo mode
