MXR ROCKMAN X100 ANALOG TONE PROCESSOR MX100

Description

Capture the iconic, chorus-drenched sound of 1980s arena rock with the MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor. For discerning guitarists seeking the ultimate vintage studio tone, this premium stompbox revives Tom Scholz’s legendary 1982 headphone amp in a pedalboard-friendly format. Boasting the exact same analog signal path, calibrated compression, and bucket-brigade chorusing as the original SR&D unit, the MXR Rockman X100 delivers pristine crystalline cleans and soaring, harmonically rich overdrives. Engineered in collaboration with original Rockman designer Bob Cedro, this pedal offers uncompromised studio-quality tone shaping for modern professional rigs.

Authentic Analog Circuitry & Bucket-Brigade Chorus

At the heart of the MX100 is the classic MN3007 bucket-brigade chip, providing the expansive, shimmering stereo chorus that defined an era of rock guitar. A complex, adaptive compression circuit ensures your signal remains exceptionally clear and musical. The compression automatically adjusts to your playing dynamics—offering a slow release for blooming clean tones and a fast release to keep high-gain settings tight and articulate.

Four Distinct Tonal Modes

The MXR Rockman X100 features four meticulously voiced presets, easily selected via the front-panel Mode button or an external footswitch:

• Clean 2 (CLN2): The default setting, delivering a crystal-clear, hi-fi clean tone.
• Clean 1 (CLN1): Features a mid-focused EQ curve tailored for punchy, tight rhythm playing.
• Edge: Offers dynamic, moderate clipping that cleans up beautifully when you roll back your guitar’s volume knob.
• Distortion (DIST): Pushes high-energy overdrive and endless sustain for fluid, stadium-shaking lead tones.

Precision Level Control & Stereo Capabilities

Dedicated Input Gain and Volume sliders give you exact control over your gain staging. The Input Gain directly interacts with the onboard compression and clipping thresholds, while the Volume slider perfectly matches the output to your amplifier or recording interface. For advanced rigs, an internal switch allows you to toggle between standard Mono and expansive Stereo operation, splitting your tone and varying the chorus effect across the left and right channels for massive spatial width.
