Looks like the Rockman is back

[2112]

A friend of mine in Perth has all of the rock modules. Been trying to tee up a time to demo them for years now, might have to make 2025 the year it actually happens.

I have owned a few of the modules over the years. They have always delivered. The EQ did wonders for one of my amps I gigged with years ago. I just ran it in the effects loop and set it on top of the amp. The frequencies the sliders are assigned to were perfect for that rig back then.

Maybe we’ll see a Rockman model in the Axe-FX soon.

I will say, now that I have that "pseudo preset" in my Helix, I have no interest in buying the pedal, and that's exactly what I thought would happen, although, that preset IS too many blocks for the Stomp XL . . . . lol

Sounds like Fractal has this in the works. I'm still grabbing the pedal.
Too fun and cool not to have one in the arsenal.

Those magnificent bastards. Fractal is the gift that keeps on giving, truly.

Must resist! Boston was one of two or three bands that led me to music. First album of theirs drums at first along with Black Sabbath on Paranoid.

Then on to guitar as a drum kit was really impractical in the military. But dang, I beat the shit outta some shoe boxes playing drums along with this music, along with Rush Moving Pictures. Great times!

Any of y’all get one? I got mine the end of Feb. Have it on a desktop board with the SDE3 for 80’s direct toanz.

Sounds great, but using a TRS splitter sucks. Inspired decision to have a second jack for a control switch nobody will use, in favor of a second dedicated stereo out. We all love a good TRS dongle. And why bother having an external mono/stereo switch when you can bury it in the pedal itself! Luckily you’ll only have to break the screwdriver out once to flip that switch because I can’t imagine wanting use this in mono.

For some reason that fucking TRS splitter has killed my joy. Sounds great. But every time I stare at the it, it quietly laughs at me. It’s always there. Mocking me. Fucking asshole.

I enjoy reading about and hearing demos of both old gear and pedals based on it.

I think it would have been even more enjoyable if this pedal had a "remote" jack and someone could use a micro amp sized footswitch to cycle between the modes.
