MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor Effects Pedal Black and Blue

The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor effects pedal brings the legendary sound of the 1980s to your pedalboard. This all-analog recreation of the iconic Rockman X100 headphone amp, originally designed by Boston's Tom Scholz, delivers the same crystalline cleans, crunchy harmonics and shimmering modulation that defined an era of arena rock. With its four iconic tonal presets, carefully calibrated compression and bucket-brigade chorus, the Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is a must-have for guitarists seeking to capture the magic of '80s rock. Four Classic Presets for Iconic Tones The Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor features the same four iconic presets as the original headphone amp. CLN1 and CLN2 offer two distinct clean tones, each with its own EQ curve and high-power sustain. CLN2 delivers a crystal-clear, pristine sound, while CLN1 provides a more mid-focused, punchy tone. On the gain side, Edge mode offers a moderate overdrive that's highly responsive to your guitar's volume knob, cleaning up beautifully for dynamic playing. Distortion mode unleashes high-energy overdrive and sustain, perfect for soaring leads and powerful riffs. Recompressed for Clarity and Punch A key component of the original X100's sound was its complex compression circuit, which kept the signal clear and punchy whether clean or dirty. The MXR Rockman X100 faithfully recreates this compression circuit, tailoring it for optimal performance across all four modes. The result is a dynamic and responsive feel that enhances your playing, whether you're playing delicate cleans or aggressive overdrive. Bucket-Brigade Chorus for Shimmering Textures The Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor features the same classic MN3007 bucket-brigade chip found in the original headphone amp. This legendary chip delivers a lush, shimmering chorus that adds depth and dimension to your sound. With a simple push of the Chorus button, you can instantly infuse your playing with the iconic chorus effect that defined '80s rock. Versatile Features for Modern Players The Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is more than just a faithful recreation; it also includes features that cater to modern players. The pedal offers both mono and stereo modes, allowing you to expand your sonic palette with a wider, more immersive sound. You can also connect an external footswitch for hands-free control of the Mode switch, making it easy to switch between presets during live performances.
