MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor

MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor – Arena Rock in a Box

The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is a faithful recreation of Tom Scholz’s legendary 1982 Rockman X100 headphone amp, which defined the polished, chorus-heavy sound of 1980s arena rock. Designed in collaboration with MXR engineer and Scholz Research & Development (SR&D) alum Bob Cedro, this pedal brings the iconic sound to your pedalboard with unmatched authenticity and advanced modern features.

Key Features

• Signature Tones of the Arena Rock Era
  Experience the crystalline cleans, crunchy harmonics, and shimmering modulation that characterized the Rockman sound. The X100 Analog Tone Processor replicates the iconic tones with four selectable modes:

  • CLN2: Clean and crystal-clear.
  • CLN1: Tight and punchy with a mid-focused EQ.
  • Edge: Moderate clipping for dynamic overdrive, responsive to input gain and guitar volume.
  • Distortion: High-energy overdrive with fluid sustain for lead tones.

• All-Analog Circuitry
  Equipped with the original MN3007 bucket-brigade chip, the pedal provides lush, expansive chorus and shimmering modulation.

• Sophisticated Compression
  The built-in compression circuit is tuned for clear, dynamic tones: slow release on clean modes and fast release on dirty modes. Compression adjusts dynamically with input gain levels.

• User-Friendly Controls

  • Input Gain Slider: Adjusts signal strength and tonal interaction with each mode.
  • Volume Slider: Sets the output level to your amplifier.

• Stereo and Advanced Connectivity
  Enjoy true stereo sound with L/R channel outputs that vary the chorus effect for a dynamic, spacious feel. Add external switches like the MXR TRS Split + Tap for foot control of mode switching.
