GOAT "Blue Series" | Recreating the legendary ROCKMAN sound

The original machine is expensive, and I'm worried about maintenance and malfunctions, and it's a rack-type design.EffectorWe have received numerous inquiries from users regarding issues such as items not fitting on the board.compact·EffectorOnce it's ready, you can easily carry it to a studio or anywhere else!

The circuit of the original "ROCKMAN" has been redesigned and assembled in a Japanese factory. The goal is to overcome the weaknesses of the original circuit, such as noise reduction, and develop a new product that simply lets you enjoy the ROCKMAN sound.TCGAKKI" will take the lead and provide complete supervision!

In order to realize this project,TCGAKKIEffectorUnder the leadership of Chief Sano, Sanoface was created.TCGAKKIEffectorTeam and uniqueAnd "GOAT" manufactures and sells niche items, and many machines that are considered legendaryEffectorDesignedEngineers and domestic factories join forcesA special team was formed.did.

Dedicated to distortion/overdriveEffectorIt has a built-in compressor and an equalizer that allows you to adjust the frequency range that is easy to use with a guitar.

●Distortion Harmonix: Adjusts the distortion gain. Three types of distortion can be selected using a switch: Low for overdrive, Mid for normal distortion, and High for intense distortion.

●Pre Dist EQ: There are three types of equalizers: Bass, Mid Boost, and 2kHz, each of which can be boosted or cut.

●Treb Boost: Only the treble range can be boosted. It reproduces sounds ranging from deep and nuanced to those that are pushed forward.

●CLEAN: Turning down the guitar's volume emphasizes a clean sound.

●PHASE: Switching it ON creates a phase cancellation effect.

This is a chorus pedal equipped with an analog BBD (Bucket Beep) chip. It produces a sweet and soft sound, and pairs exceptionally well with distorted guitars.

●Sweep Speed: Adjusts the speed of the fluctuation. Adjustable within the range of 0.25Hz to 1Hz.
●Deep Chorus: Adds a doubling effect (depth) to the chorus. The center position is the original ON state, and above the center position, you can create an even deeper sound.
●Direct Mixer: You can select from three output methods depending on your application.
●Wide Stereo: A chorus effect using stereo output, creating a wide-ranging effect through the overlapping of positive and negative phases.
●Normal: You can experience a typical stereo effect; mono output is also possible. It has a good balance of depth and breadth.
●Equal: Both stereo and mono are possible. In stereo, the sweep speed is very fast, resulting in a shallower sound. In mono, the sweep speed is fast, resulting in a deeper chorus.

This is a delay/echo effect using analog circuitry. It reproduces the correct stereo image in space regardless of the setting position.

●Feedback: Sets the duration of the delay.
●Echo Time: Adjustable from 75 to 300ms with L and from 125 to 500ms with R.
●Pan Select: Select the output method with a switch. The top setting outputs a stereo signal mixed with a mono-positioned direct signal. The middle setting outputs both the echo and direct signals in stereo. The bottom setting outputs different mixed sounds on the left and right.
●Experience a unique echo sound with stereo output.

The SUSTAINOR, the most requested model since the launch of the Blue Series, is finally here!That distinctive drive sound, and of course, the clean sound, are both fully restored.

●MODE SELECT: There are two channels, CHAN A/B, which switch between DIST/EDGE/CLN/CLN2.
●DIST: This feature intentionally boosts the mid-range frequencies, providing a powerful overdrive.
●EDGE: This pedal delivers an overdrive sound with slightly boosted mid-range frequencies and enhanced sustain.
●CLN: The overall EQ is similar to DIST and EDGE, but it produces a clean sound with good sustain.
●CLN2: A natural EQ with extended high frequencies and a compressed sound.Electric AcousticIt has a clean, breezy sound.
●GATE: You can adjust the sensitivity of the noise gate. This noise gate only acts on high frequencies close to the noise frequency band. Therefore, a noise reduction effect without sound interruption is achieved.

It features a highly convenient design with 12 bands in total, including 3 BASS bands, 2 TREBLE bands, and the most important 7 bands for MID. It's an excellent graphic equalizer that allows you to set and manage your favorite tone as you like.

●TREBLE BAND: 8kHz and 16kHzControl the top-end frequency.vinegar.
●MID BAND: 500, 700, 1k1.4kHz, 2kHz, 2.8kHz, 4kHz are important mid-range frequencies.It controls the frequency.
●BASS BAND: 62, 125, 250Hz It controls the low end.
●Each EQ slider provides a 12dB boost/cut.This is possible, and to return it precisely to the "0" dB setting.It has a center click.

In 1980, Tom Scholtz, the leader of BOSTON, founded SR&D (Scholtz Research & Development). He named the brand "ROCKMAN,"EffectorIt has produced numerous models, including the original Rockman. It is said that the Rockman was originally developed with the concept of "being able to carry it anywhere and enjoy playing the guitar," and was inspired by Sony's Walkman.

Each model boasts a highly original and distinctive sound, and the DISTORTION GENERATOR, released in 1987, reigned as a flagship model among Rockman's many offerings. The DISTORTION HARMO-NIX set the distortion character, and the 3-band equalizer controlled the tone.

As mentioned earlier, Tom Scholz, as well as Tak Matsumoto of B'z, use preamps/multi-effects units in their recordings.EffectorI use the Sustainor model and the X100 headphone amplifier model. I also have experience using the 1U rack-mount XPR model in live performances.

The "GENERATOR" with its unique sound and distortion.And the warmth and sweetness unique to analog become addictive. We have released "STEREO CHORUS" and "STEREO ECHO," which exquisitely mixes the left and right echo balance in space, and we are currently selling "SUSTAINOR," which was previously thought to be impossible to produce!

Those sounds you used to hear on records and CDs are now revived right here!
