Rockman Tone in 2017

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017

Yep, I know that George Lynch used that for cleans in his rig in the Under Lock and Key era. The chorused cleans you hear on that album are either headphone Rockman or an early Sustainor and Chorus/Delay rockmodule… but you have followed this thread long enough to know this, LLL.

NAMM 2019 is soliciting votes for innovations that significantly contributed to the development of pro audio. The 1982 Tom Scholz/SRD Rockman is on the list! Make your vote count. Here's the page:

Cool! (I was really busy working at a festival when you posted this, so I didn't catch it then.)

This thread has been quiet for a while. A Rockman X100 being used to cover the beginning of "Pour Some Sugar on Me":

If Dunlop were to re-release the Rockman preamp circuit, they should include switches that defeat its proprietary midrange, and compression. Apparently, this was recommended during the design phase, but Tom refused to sign-off on it.

One of the Rockman Rockmodules that never seemed to get much love is the Stereo Chorus. It's an effect that is integral to the Rockman sound, but is also a really excellent chorus effect by itself. Taylor Rhodes demonstrates the Rockman Stereo Chorus, outside the Rockman context:

Awesome chorus! Best I've ever owned; including the mighty BOSS CE-1. I use my Rockman Stereo Chorus to nail Brain May and EVH stereo chorus tones. The Rockman Stereo Echo is the king of analog delay as well.

Wow! From the time this thread started until now, I met my wonderful girlfriend (cyberkitten) and have had two anniversaries with her. Isn't that beautiful? What do you reckon, wanna see if we can make it three for three?

Why are there tons of posts here on some old-fashioned grandpa tone gear?

5-point deduction for violating thread topic, directly.

Not directly Rockman related, but this article had me thinking of this thread:

https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/th...l-schenkers-tone-on-ufos-only-you-can-rock-me

So, Michael's best rhythm tones came from a 5" Pignose practice amp? And a guitar with .009-.040 strings? One could almost believe that the regular guitar forum tropes are incorrect!
