We’ve received numerous comments from users expressing concerns such as: “The original unit is expensive, and I’m worried about maintenance and breakdowns,” or “Because it’s a rack-mount unit, it won’t fit in a Effector board…”With a compact Effector version,you can easily take it with you to studios and other locations!

We’ve redesigned the circuitry of the iconic “ROCKNAN” and will assemble it in a Japanese factory. “TCGAKKI” is taking the lead and providing full supervision to develop this new product, which overcomes the weaknesses of the original circuit—such as noise reduction—so you can simply enjoy the classic ROCKMAN sound!

To bring this project to life, under the leadership of TCGAKKIEffector Chief Sano, the TCGAKKIEffector team that created the Sano Facehas joined forces with the domestic factory that manufactures and"G.O.A.T," known for manufacturing and selling unique and niche items, andthe engineers and domestic factories that have designedcountless legendary Effector unitshave joinedforcesto forma special team.

This is a Effector dedicated to distortion and overdrive. It features a built-in compressor and an equalizer that allows you to adjust the frequency range for optimal use with a guitar.

●Distortion Harmonix: Adjusts distortion gain. A switch allows you to choose between three modes: Overdrive (Low), standard distortion (Mid), and intense distortion (High).

●Pre Dist EQ: Features three EQ bands—Bass, Mid Boost, and 2kHz—each capable of boost or cut.

●Treble Boost: Boosts only the treble range. Reproduces sounds ranging from deep, rich tones to those with a forward, punchy presence.

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

●PHASE: Turning this switch ON creates a phase cancellation effect.

A chorus pedal featuring an analog BBD. It produces a sweet, soft sound and pairs exceptionally well with distorted guitars.

●Sweep Speed: Adjusts the speed of the modulation. Adjustable within a range of 0.25 Hz to 1 Hz.
●Deep Chorus: Adds a doubler effect (depth) to the chorus. The center position is the original ON state, and settings above the center allow for "even deeper" sound shaping.
●Direct Mixer: Choose from three output modes depending on your application.
●Wide Stereo: A stereo chorus effect that creates a wide sound through the interplay of in-phase and out-of-phase signals.
●Normal: Experience a standard stereo effect; mono output is also available. Offers a good balance between depth and width.
●Equal: Supports both stereo and mono. In stereo mode, the Sweep Speed is very fast, resulting in shallower depth. In mono mode, the Sweep Speed is fast, producing a chorus with depth.

A delay/echo unit utilizing analog circuitry. It reproduces a true stereo image in the sound space regardless of the setting position.

●Feedback: Sets the delay duration.
●Echo Time: Adjustable from 75–300 ms on the left and 125–500 ms on the right.
●Pan Select: Select the output mode with the switch. In the top position, the stereo signal is mixed with the mono direct signal and output. In the middle position, both the echo and direct signals are output in stereo. In the bottom position, different mixes are output from the left and right channels.
●Experience a unique echo sound via the stereo output.

The SUSTAINOR, the most requested model since the launch of the Blue Series, is finally here!Not only is that signature drive sound back, but the clean sound has also made a full comeback.

●MODE SELECT: Features two channels (CHAN A/B) to switch between DIST/EDGE/CLN/CLN2.
●DIST: Deliberately boosts midrange frequencies to deliver a powerful overdrive.
●EDGE: An overdrive tone with sustain, featuring slightly boosted midrange frequencies.
●CLN: The overall EQ is similar to DIST and EDGE, but it produces a clean sound with excellent sustain.
●CLN2: A natural EQ with extended high frequencies, producing a clean sound reminiscent of Electric Acoustic with compression.
●GATE: Allows you to adjust the noise gate sensitivity. This noise gate acts only on the high frequencies closest to the noise frequency band. This provides a noise reduction effect without cutting off the sound.

A key feature is its highly convenient design, which concentrates 7 of the 12 total bands on the MIDS—the most critical range—along with 3 bands for BASS and 2 for TREBLE. This is an excellent graphic equalizer that lets you set up and manage your ideal tone exactly as you like.

●TREBLE BAND:Controlsthe top-end frequencies at 8kHz and 16kHz.
●MID BAND:Controls thecriticalmid-range frequenciesat500, 700, 1k,1.4k, 2k, 2.8k, and 4kHz.
●BASS BAND: Controls the low-end frequencies at62, 125, and 250 Hz .
●Each EQ sliderallows fora 12 dB boost or cutandfeatures a center click toreturn precisely to the "0" dB setting.

Tom Scholtz, leader of BOSTON, founded SR&D (Scholtz Research & Development) in 1980.He named the brand "ROCKMAN" and produced numerous models centered around the Effector. It is said that ROCKMAN was originally developed based on the concept of "being able to take it anywhere and enjoy playing guitar," inspired by Sony's Walkman.

Each model features a highly distinctive and original sound; in particular, the DISTORTION GENERATOR, released in 1987, reigned as the flagship model among the many ROCKMAN products. The DISTORTION HARMO-NIX allows you to set the distortion character, while the 3-band equalizer controls the tone.

In addition to the aforementioned Tom Scholz, Takahiro Matsumoto of B’z has used the preamp/multi-effect model “Sustainor” and the headphone amp model “X100” in his recordings. He also has a history of using the 1U rack-mount model “XPR” in live performances.

We have released the“GENERATOR” with its distinctive sound and distortion, the “STEREO CHORUS” withits addictive warmth and sweetness unique to analog , and the “STEREO ECHO” that exquisitely blends left and right echo balances in the sound space—and we are now selling the “SUSTAINOR,” which was once thought impossible!

The sound you used to hear on records and CDs is brought back to life right here!
