Billy Gibbons was asked how how his sound had changed and become so awesome and he said, "talk to om Sholtz, he created a distortion you can play in church" BG is a legend.
Lol, I still have mine from the 80s. The headphone version I practiced with it at night time. I tucked it away with all my pagers in a box in my garage. Lol. Great tone " Rockman is Alive ..YEAH.
Honestly, an absolutely beautiful job! And I truthfully loved the song as well. The best part, for me, is when you said you thought the rhythm sound would sound like crap - thats when you realized the magic of the Rockman. I still own many of them, 3 headphone amps, and 2 rack units with the floor board. I am a child of the 1980's, and this sound has never left me. Even though I absolutely am a Tom Scholz nerd, and apparently an "old fart" :), I pre-ordered one, even though I absolutely don't need it. I love the acclaim that it is getting, and I hope more people do more with the sound that captured a generation and was used on hundreds of records. Beautiful job once again, and I know Tom would be proud to see this.
I believe Billy Gibbons in ZZ top used a Rockman quite often as well. He used it heavily on the Afterburner album and some of the eliminator album. In fact it confused me for years how the hell he got that unique incredible overdrive sound that sounded somehow really overdriven and saturated but at the same time so clear and warm. Also I think the overdrive would work great in almost any context in a rock song today, I actually think its aged incredibly well in terms of sound.
2 sliders, 2 push buttons and the sound is set and balanced for clean or distorted tones with or without compression and/or chorus. Impressive little box !
It will work in front of clean guitar amp but really better direct. With guitar amp you would definitely need some external eq to make it usable through guitar amp. Back in the day the power amps that Scholz was marketing with the preamps were Carver/randall power amps. His whole design concept was getting sound at preamp and amplifying with full range power amps/ flat speaker systems. He was way ahead of his time. I have his last product made ,the A1250 50 watt combo.
Bloody awesome Henning, your playing style matched the x100 perfectly. I thought Tom Schultz was an electrical engineer that designed the rockman and then got it built. That's the word on the street anyway. Thankyou for your time and your channel, you are great, Cheers.
I took the dog for his walk and my MX100 package was on the porch this morning. 😀 Wheee! I still have my Rockman X100 from the 80s. It was so amazing to have a little battery powered headphone amp with cleans and distortion. I guess for the young guys, you can think of it as the Boss Katana Go of its day. Sort of. You had two cleans, edge and distortion, with echo and chorus. You could select from all effects on, chorus off-echo on, or echo off -chorus on. The chorus chip in this MXR pedal is the same as from the original X100. I had heard that the components for the original echo were out production so they didn’t include it.
I ordered one to add to my collection, I have the soloist and a couple other clones from RMS and GOAT Blue series. You would be surprised how many people offer there version of Toms work
It's nice to know that Tom Scholz is still getting paid for his genius. I have an original Sustainor (Model 100) and just had my Model 200 refurbished. I love the tone of course but it's not my tone anymore although I still have the rack with my original Scholz Rockman (stereo) Chorus/Delay that is STILL the best chorus I've ever heard.
I love the way the cows run with the dog at the end!! Oh yeah, and the pedal sounds great and your playing is as jaw-droppingly good as ever. But frolicking cows, man! (I still have a stock half-rack Rockman Sustainer which I bought in the day, but I might pick this up anyway because I want to stack those clean sounds!)
🎶It's a bright horizon, ooh, and I'm awaken I see myself in a brand new way The sun is shinin', ooh, the clouds are breakin' 'Cause I can't lose now, there's a new rockman to play🎶
Boston (Tom Scholz invented it) used it on Third Stage and the Deaf Leopard guys used it on Hysteria… RJ did a review of the original. It is a cool sound! “And I want, and I need, and I lust Animal (s at the end) ) … “
One thing this pedal is missing in an instrument thru output. Which allowed the user to blend a live amp signal with the direct sound of the Rockman. The Rockman tones (direct) blended with a mic'd up plexi is when the magic happens in the studio.
Cool video man but you need to dive into the Rockman rabbit hole. Tom didn’t just use it, he was literally the engineer (from MIT) that created it. It was never just intended to be a shitty headphones amp, he was top shelf hi-fi all the way
The Boston 3rd Stage album is the best Rockman endorsement out there. Also check out the Orion The Hunter album. So many 80's hits used Rockman. Jeff Beck's People Get Ready. ZZ Top Afterburner. ...can you tell I'm a Rockman fan?
I think the reason they put it in a pedal format (or at least the reason I'm thankful they did) is for players who want to have easy access to all the Rockman tones within the context of their existing pedalboard rigs. In other words, the pedal format makes the Rockman much more "gigable". I plan to run my MXR X100 in the loop of my HX Effects, which will give my the ability to build several presets around it for specific songs, as well as the ability to use one of the HX switches to cycle thru the 4 different X100 settings.
Poor Pauli having to excuse himself repeatedly for his shirt and have to explain that YES he knows there's a switch to turn it stereo. But still taking time to answer. Community management must be the hardest part of your job. Such a brave guy. Here it is 🍺 you deserve it !
Just as so many guitarists are desperately chasing Edward Van Halen’s 1978 tone. There’s countless videos claiming they’ve nailed it, and a few come very very close… but no matter what amp settings, effect pedals, tube combinations or voltage customizations combined with bicycle paint hues or 1971 quarters, it’s still… not…quite…there.
Tbh this is not a tone that's impossible to get- but it takes a handful of pedals, you have to know how to set them up right, you need the right amp, compressor, chorus, etc. The genius here, imo- is putting it all in one box, just choose what effect you want, two sliders- you're done. It's idiot proof, plug and play 80s tone. And it makes it really accessible to about anyone- you don't need any other specialized gear or anything- just a powered speaker of some kind to plug into, or a PA, recording interface, etc. Hell, you could technically use your computer speakers I guess- probably have to buy a 1/4 inch to 1/8th adapter, but you could make it work. Two-fiddy seems steep until you realize this thing is a DI solution- not just a dirt pedal and a chorus pedal in one enclosure, which is how most ppl are thinking of it, I think.
Im still confused why all the great companies like fender-boss-Ibanez etc didn’t made a rockman version years ago well known its been requested by numerous,,,well finally its here after all,,great review as always
Of all things, instead of just enjoying the whole song and enjoying the richness of the pedal being used in the context of a modern rock tune, I’m somehow thinking about how much the vocals remind me of David Cook. I could imagine him trying to do a song like this if you wanted to step into the 80s melodic rock template.
Actually there was delay and reverb in the 1980s Rockman headphone amp. And I've read interviews with various 80s rock guitarists, not just Satriani, who have said that in the studio they'd split the guitar signal and record a Rockman track as well as however many channels of miked amp(s). I've tried it in my home studio. Layered with a miked amp track it adds a little something extra that sounds pretty cool.
Would this work as a normal pedal going into the input of the preamp? or should I better use the Loop return input? Danke Henning. Ich liebe deinen Channel.
I’ve been confused about its recording setup, too. The majority of the RUclipsrs who’ve reviewed this are running it into the front end of a clean amp, or the loop. I’d be using it direct, with an IR. I also thought it might sound good in front of the Nembrini MP1 plug in, too!
Did you lose the manual? In the unboxing portion, you pulled out a little book that was about 1/4 of an inch thick. It said “Quick Guide” on the front. You fanned the pages in fast motion and set it down. Was that not a manual? Maybe it was just a book that told you how to plug it in, in every language known to man. lol. Also, when talking about the original Rockman, you said there was no delay. But actually there was. It wasn’t something you could adjust, but you could cut it off. It was called “Echo”. You could cut off the echo, or you could cut off the chorus, but you couldn’t cut them both off at the same time. I had the original from 1982, which I can’t find right now. But I was able to find the one from 1984, called the X-100. There is a slider switch with “Norm” in the middle, and “Echo Off” to the left, and “Chorus Off” to the right. The Rockman is what made me want to play guitar in stereo, which I did for years. I had 2 Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amps, and I used the Rockman box model you spoke of. With an amp on each side of the room. Or stage.
It’s funny, Def Leppard’d hysteria was considered to have some of the best tones and they used this thing on that album. Guess you don’t need a fancy tube amp. Just a pedal direct to the board 🤷
@ sorry bro. I was just trying to let others know because I thought I heard you mention only mono in the video in the beginning. Didn’t get the chance to finish your demo, or read all the comments below or disclaimers.
Nice presentation and love the main song! Wondering if that one is some AI creation... or at least the voices seems to be. Have several original Rockman stuff... this pedal sounds a bit close but didn't get the essence of the original tone, for obvious reasons. Keep up the good work man!
I tried to buy one they are all on back order. So I pulled out my MXR chorus, mxr classic overdrive (set as GT-OD not Zack whylde) and a cheap compressor into my vox ac-15… it gets you there.
When I had "THE ORIGINAL" Rockman way back in the early 80's. I used to run a MXR Distortion + into the front of The Rockman it came pretty close to the METAL of the day (chorus off)
@sanehumanbeing7019 I don't need to find one. I can recreate this kind of sound with the rest of my pedals and amp is what I'm saying, or even without my pedals and amp. We're not in 1980 anymore. Also don't care about tha lack of bass, cutting through when tracking etc. These all are very easy to accomplish in the studio even with a guitar directly to the board and a couple plugins and some eq. So you have to think who is the target audience for this device? Is it the modern day pro? probably not. Is it the hobbyist? if yes then 300 is a lot of money to spend on a very limited sound. It's a very nice sound don't get me wrong but limited nonetheless.
I bought one the day they were released. I found the cleans overly compressed. And being there's no way to adjust it, it was pretty much unusable. Ran it into my board and into my interface. Returned to G.C.
Technically it can do early heavy metal like it kinda sounds like the tone TANK had on their 1983 album This Means War, If you add and a overdrive pedal and maybe a EQ pedal I feel you could get pretty close
I bought one back when they came out. They were frail and hard to use in a band. I loved the sound of it, but like the first Walkman's, all geared around 1/8" jacks and plastic construction. I traded it for a crappy (Kramer Ferrington) guitar... good trade.
Ha maybe Nobels will reissue their 80s sound studio series if the mxr unit does well. They basically cloned the rockman x100 but put it in a sturdy metal housing and added more controls. I bought one used a couple years ago and I still need to fix it up to get it working properly😂probably dead caps, what else

Dein Video ist bisher so ziemlich das beste, was ich auf RUclips gesehen habe. 👌🏼
My son works for an online music retailer in the US and people are pre-ordering these!
I just ordered one from Sweetwater. My sales rep said they sold about 6,000 in one day.
oooh, that sounds very nice. Loving the songs for the gear reviews too.
Honestly, an absolutely beautiful job! And I truthfully loved the song as well. The best part, for me, is when you said you thought the rhythm sound would sound like crap - thats when you realized the magic of the Rockman. I still own many of them, 3 headphone amps, and 2 rack units with the floor board. I am a child of the 1980's, and this sound has never left me.

The singer in the demo song absolutely crushed it! Holy sh*t. Great voice!!!

@EytschPi42 You're very welcome Henning
Great to see the Soothsayer! 🤘🔥
Do you have some IR involved? Great video and great sounding pedal. I like the idea to make a song of the product you are reviewing.
Thumbs up for that harmonic minor vibe
Haha
Awesome! Mine's on it's way. Found one in Scotland. Kenny's Music. Always loved that Tom Shcolz sound
You can hear the late John Sykes use the rockman on the demos for the whitesnake 87 and blue murder albums. Pretty cool stuff.
It’s amazing that Tom figured this sound out in the mid ‘70’s, yet people are still trying to recreate it digitally 50 years later.
The pedal is all analog, I think it will probably be the biggest selling pedal for 2025, I have a tonex that is digital
Right
@BaronVonSchnarfflerI believe so and Heatseeker will be top sellers
LOL- I bet you never dreamed you get to make that fanboy flex huh? You been sitting on that one.

it was a quick guide but did not contain instructions for this pedal… it is a generic quick guide for MXR pedals. I got mine too early.
That clean tone sounds an awful lot like when I use my Tru Fi Colordriver as an EQed clean boost. Wonder if the frequency response curves are similar?
It’s funny, Def Leppard’d hysteria was considered to have some of the best tones and they used this thing on that album. Guess you don’t need a fancy tube amp. Just a pedal direct to the board 🤷
Pete Thorn did a demo & says there’s a switch inside which converts the pedal from mono to stereo.
Mine says that too if you can read

Love Rockman, it has it's place for sure. My only complaint is it doesn't matter what guitar you plug into it, they will all sound the same.
UK Pre-order currently £249.
Seems steep.
Do MXR pedals usually street retail cheaper?
When I had "THE ORIGINAL" Rockman way back in the early 80's. I used to run a MXR Distortion + into the front of The Rockman it came pretty close to the METAL of the day (chorus off)
Lol I built a goddamn paddleboard just to try and get this sound,
When all along i could just used this 1 pedal LOL
Me too.. Doh who knew 🙄🤣
Stereo option in the back of the pedal,take the back off,flip the switch,am I correct?
Yes
As far as I remember, Tom Scholz invented this thing, that's why his name is on it. I think it was initially built for recording.
Correct. Boston's "Third Stage". An album which famously took five years to record and produce.
I still have an original :) Offers over $5 considered😅
I'm loving your use of AI for these demo tracks.
That sounds Beautiful ❤️
haha love the song=! keep 'em coming 🤘🏻
Oh, yes, thanks for your video, Henning!!
I have the original version, although it stopped working years ago. It definitely had some type of slap delay and chorus, with the compression.
i used to have the rockman distortion generator. awsome sound, hated that it wasnt a pedal
You need to make a whole album like that!
Sure sounds great, but 300 euros is crazy for this. What were they thinking?
Try finding an original Rockman or a pair of Rock modules for less than that.
@sanehumanbeing7019 I don't need to find one. I can recreate this kind of sound with the rest of my pedals and amp is what I'm saying, or even without my pedals and amp. We're not in 1980 anymore.

That's PD0 bear, friend!
I know NOW
I was slightly distracted by the shirt but I'm not sure why
Shut it

They are going for about $229 US. Freakin sweet pedal!
I bought one back when they came out. They were frail and hard to use in a band. I loved the sound of it, but like the first Walkman's, all geared around 1/8" jacks and plastic construction. I traded it for a crappy (Kramer Ferrington) guitar... good trade.
The first two Boston albums Brother!
nice Rockman Song 🤘 i love it❤
How is this thing already sold out
Amplified nation bombshell overdrive is looking nice
Nice demo, but the stereo option of it is too much a part of it's sound to be dropped...
Please read what is says on the screen… you can switch it internally
I had the headphone thingie in my ironbird case in '89. it was cool as shit
LOL.... 16:56 ... that is me 90% of the time I am soloing ... just barely hanging on!

Those gear-related songs are genius, and the singer is, too! Who is it?

I LOVED that song. lol :)
This is a neat pedal.
I just wanna know why this took so long to happen. Those were great. Sounds even in the 80s when it came out.
Nice lyrics 😊
Дукую за найкращій огляд цього девайсу!
Is someone using Suno or Udio for the vocals?
Tom Scholz: could use actual an Rockman , this, actual Rockman rack gear, cocked wah, fulltone Secret Freq.
Rockman was the first guitar modeller (if you know how Scholz created the sound, you know why it's a modeller). Tom Scholz is a genius.
Happy sounds aren't they?
have created a nice Helix preset that recreates this.... with a few added features! :)
If you're into old fart stuff... Or if you are an old fart. Great demo and love the lyrics and tune.
