What is all the hype about the rockman?

[Securb]

The headphone amps were pretty limited in controls but I think most of the bands that used them tended to record with the rack gear.

I had the rack gear, it was more flexible but still had that Boston DNA and it is hard to push it out of the realm of classic/hard rock.

Maybe the 1/2 rack compressor can do more modern stuff...it tends to squish pretty good.

I still want one

Well at that time Tom made that stuff it was "mainstream rock" & not "classic rock".
Is the Scholz DNA for everyone ? Maybe not but Scholz R & D certainly has guilded itself in modern rock guitar history.

Man, the rise of IRs and quality Amps-In-Boxes is really something.

The way people practice and perform live has been changing over the years.

Back when it was still sold new it sounded substantially better than the competition, I went through a couple of them at Amptown in Hamburg. Bought the X100, still have it.

Yes, back then, headphone amps weren't a thing, and modeling was just a dream. There were not very good solutions to silent practice.

A Rat into a Rockman? I'd expect that to be a bees nest of tone.

No just back off the gain a tad.

I believe the Hysteria album was a Rockman as well...although they were modded a little by Scholz

Yeah, it has that 'sound' to it.

Phil Collin still uses one in his live rig.

 

[ehdwuld]

And yet today I want one

 

[beaubrummels]

I'll sell you my Rev 8 if you want. Still has the original headphones and box (box is in rough shape, though).

 

[ehdwuld]

Pm me a price and I will let you know
