MXR Rockman X100 Processeur de Ton Analogique

https://www.jimdunlop.com/mxr-rockman-x100-analog-tone-processor/ In 1982, Tom Scholz—visionary guitarist and founder of pioneering hard rock band Boston—designed and released the Rockman X100 headphone amp through his electronics company Scholz Research & Development (SR&D). But it was more than just a headphone amp—with recording console connectivity and several tone tweaking features and built-in effects, the X100 became the secret weapon in the studio that would go on to define the polished, chorus-laden sound of 1980s arena rock. The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor revives the signature sonic character of that headphone amp in stompbox form. Aided by veteran MXR engineer and SR&D alum Bob Cedro, the MXR design team captured the same crystalline cleans, crunchy harmonics, and shimmering modulation as the original. Four different presets, selectable via the MODE button, allow for a wide range of tonal expression via two differently equalized clean modes with high-power sustain and two distinctively gritty dirty modes. Another key component of the original X100’s sound was a complex compression circuit for keeping the signal clear whether clean or dirty, and the MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor comes equipped with the same circuit, tuned for a slow release on clean modes and a fast release on dirty modes. On top of that, this pedal features the same classic MN3007 bucket brigade chip found in the original headphone amp, infusing every riff and lick with bucketfuls of expansive, shimmering chorus with a simple push of the Chorus button. There’s never been a better way to capture the bold sonic character of that era.
