The original machine is expensive, and maintenance and breakdowns are a concern. Since it's a rack-mounted type,EffectorWe've received numerous complaints from users about issues such as not being able to fit everything on the board.CompactEffectorOnce it's ready, you can easily carry it to studios and other places!

We are redesigning the circuitry of that "ROCKNAN" and assembling it in Japanese factories. By overcoming the weaknesses of the original circuit, such as noise reduction, we are developing a new product that allows you to simply enjoy the classic ROCKMAN sound.TCGAKKIwill take the lead and provide full supervision!

INSTRUMENT EQUALIZER


●This illustration is currently in development; specifications and design are subject to change.


GENERATOR

Dedicated for distortion/overdriveEffectorIt features a built-in compressor and an equalizer that allows you to adjust the frequency bands most suitable for guitar.

●Distortion Harmonix: Adjusts the distortion gain. Three types can be switched via a toggle switch: Low for overdrive, Mid for standard distortion, and High for intense distortion.

●Pre Dist EQ: Features three types of equalizers—Bass, Mid Boost, and 2kHz—each capable of boosting or cutting.

●Treble Boost: Boosts only the treble range. Reproduces sounds ranging from deep and spacious to forward and prominent.

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

●PHASE: Activating the switch creates a phase cancellation effect.


STEREO CHORUS

This chorus features an analog BBD. Its sweet, smooth sound pairs exceptionally well with distorted guitars.

●Sweep Speed: Adjusts the oscillation frequency. Adjustable within the range of 0.25Hz to 1Hz.
●Deep Chorus: Adds a doubler effect (depth) to the chorus. At the center position, the original effect is active. Above the center position, you can create sounds that go "even further beyond."
●Direct Mixer: Choose from three output methods depending on your application.
●Wide Stereo: A chorus effect using stereo output, creating a spacious effect through the overlap of in-phase and out-of-phase signals.
●Normal: Experience standard stereo effects; mono output is also possible. Offers a good balance of depth and spaciousness.
●Equal: Capable of both stereo and mono operation. Stereo mode features extremely fast Sweep Speed with reduced depth. Mono mode delivers a fast Sweep Speed with a deep chorus effect.


STEREO ECHO

This is an analog circuit-based delay/echo. It accurately reproduces the stereo image in the space from any setting position.

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


SUSTAINOR

The most requested SUSTAINOR since the Blue Series began is finally here!Not only the drive sound, but the clean sound has also made a full comeback.

●MODE SELECT: Features two channels (CHAN A/B) and switches between DIST/EDGE/CLN/CLN2.
●DIST: Consciously boosts midrange frequencies to deliver powerful overdrive.
●EDGE: An overdrive tone with enhanced midrange frequencies and pronounced sustain.
●CLN: The overall EQ resembles DIST and EDGE, but it's a clean sound with excellent sustain.
●CLN2: A natural EQ with extended high frequencies, featuring compressionElectric AcousticA clean, breezy sound.
●GATE: Adjusts the sensitivity of the noise gate. This noise gate only affects high frequencies near the noise frequency band. This enables noise reduction without causing audio clipping.


INSTRUMENT EQUALIZER

Featuring a highly convenient design with 12 bands total: 3 bands for bass, 2 bands for treble, and a concentrated 7 bands for the crucial midrange. This excellent graphic equalizer lets you set and manage your desired tone with ease.

TREBLE BAND: 8kHz and 16kHzControl the top-end frequency.
MID BAND: 500, 700, 1k,1.4k, 2k, 2.8k, and 4kHz critical midrange frequenciesControls the frequency.
BASS BAND: 62, 125, 250Hz Controls the low end.
Each EQ slider provides 12dB of boost/cutis possible, and to accurately return to the "0 dB" settingIt has a center click.


ABOUT ROCKMAN

In 1980, Tom Scholz, leader of BOSTON, founded Scholtz Research & Development (SR&D). He named the brand "ROCKMAN,"EffectorIt has spawned numerous models centered around the original. Rockman was originally developed based on the concept of "enjoying guitar anywhere you go," inspired by Sony's Walkman.

Each model's sound was highly original and exceptionally distinctive, with the DISTORTION GENERATOR released in 1987 reigning supreme as the flagship model among the numerous Rockman-branded units. Set the distortion character with the DISTORTION HARMO-NIX and control the tone with the 3-band equalizer.

Final adjustments are possible with the pre-output treble boost. The lead boost also handles high-gain sounds. The uniquely emphasized mid-range distortion sound is characteristic of ROCKMAN.
STEREO CHORUS is another popular model, characterized by its seamless integration with distortion to create a flowing chorus sound. Its LONG CHORUS mode delivers maximum impact during solos and similar playing styles, adding a thick spatial effect to distortion sounds. STEREO ECHO allows you to set the echo time yourself to enhance the effect. By using different echo times for the left and right channels, it creates a unique sense of spatial expansion, producing a majestic sound. It's a meticulously crafted echo that anyone who hears it will instantly recognize.

Coincidentally, in the early 1990s, digitalEffectorThe rise of fully analogEffectorRockman is on a steady decline.However, its uniquely toned sound still radiates an undimmed brilliance, and it continues to have a large and devoted fan base.

As mentioned above, Tom Scholz, of course, and B'z's Tak Matsumoto use preamps/multi-effects during recording.EffectorUsed the Sustainor model and the X100 headphone amplifier model. Has experience using the 1U rack-mount model XPR in live settings.

"GENERATOR" with its distinctive sound and distortionAnd the warmth and sweetness unique to analog becomes addictive. We've released the "STEREO CHORUS," which exquisitely blends left and right echo balance in space, and the "STEREO ECHO," and we're now selling the "SUSTAINOR," once thought impossible!

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