MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor

The MXR Rockman X100 Analog Tone Processor revives the signature sonic character of Tom Scholz's celebrated headphone amp and signal processor in pedal form. Offering crystalline cleans, crunchy harmonics, and shimmering modulation, the original X100 unit defined the sound of arena rock. This faithful, all-analog recreation features the same four tonal presets, carefully calibrated compression for a clear sound whether clean or distorted, the same bucket-brigade chorusing as the original, both mono and stereo modes, and optional external mode switching for an enhanced user experience.

Controls

• CTRL jack allows MODE function to be controlled with an off-board switch such as the MXR Tap or MXR TRS Split + Tap.
• FOOTSWITCH toggles effect on/bypass
• MODE button cycles through four different tone presets: two differently equalized clean modes with high-power sustain and two distinctively gritty dirty modes.
• CLN2 mode: Default setting. Provides a clean, crystal clear tone.
• CLN1 mode: Mid-focused EQ curve. Tuned for a tight, punchy sound.
• Edge mode: Moderate clipping. Very sensitive to INPUT GAIN adjustments and cleans up nicely at low guitar volume settings.
• Distortion mode: High-energy overdrive and sustain that makes for easy, fluid leads.
• VOLUME slider adjusts overall output volume.
• INPUT GAIN slider adjusts input gain level. Increase for a more compressed sound.
• CHORUS button adds chorus effect.
