MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor

The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor is pure ‘80s guitar glory—distilled, stompable, and totally unapologetic. This isn’t just a pedal, it’s a time machine. Channeling the iconic studio tones made famous by Boston, Def Leppard, and countless arena-sized productions, the X100 packs sparkling cleans, mid-driven edge tones, rich distortion, lush chorus, and dynamic compression all into one tight, retro-futurist unit.

At its heart are four distinct tone modes

• CLN2 – crystal-clean sparkle with lush sustain

• CLN1 – mid-forward clean for vintage punch

• EDGE – touch-sensitive grit with clean-up magic

• DIST – harmonic-rich saturation with endless sustain

These aren’t your average amp sims—each mode is voiced to feel sculpted, smooth, and alive, perfect for tracking, re-amping, or crafting classic tones straight to the desk or front-of-house.

Built-in is an authentic analog chorus circuit, dripping with vintage warmth and swirl. Whether used subtly to widen your cleans or cranked up for that unmistakable stereo shimmer, the chorus adds character that’s both studio-polished and totally playable.

The Rockman’s auto-compression circuit is smart, musical, and integral to the tone. It responds differently depending on your selected mode—giving sustained, rounded cleans or letting your dirt tones punch and breathe. Fine-tuned with Input Gain and Volume sliders, it gives you intuitive control without ever needing a menu screen or patch editor.

With mono and stereo outputs, you can go straight to amp, interface, or mixer. And with a CTRL jack for external footswitching, it's fully adaptable for live rigs. This isn’t just a nod to the past—it’s a bold reissue of one of guitar’s most distinctive processors, now pedalboard-ready.
