My guess is the second batch of these will sell out right away. If you get the chance I'd hop on the waiting list. ► Check out the MXR X100 HERE - sweetwater.sjv.io/EEzvdW
Already have mine also and I love it. It is the sound of my youth in a small package. The chip they use for the echo is no longer in production. That’s why it wasn’t included.
I have mine too. Have you experienced issues with noise? I am, no matter how I run it. I’ve seen other posts about this, but nothing on fixes and I haven’t received a response beyond returning it, which I haven’t done yet.
@ i’m not getting any noise so to speak. I am using short runs of cable to plug it into my interface.
When was "Your Youth" I remember when the rockman came out in the 80's We could never get that Boston sound. What was your experience?
How can you not love this sound?
Exactly!
After watching this , Robert ,I going to get my Rockman back out of the closet!
Gods of War is such a fun riff. If I get this pedal I'll have to learn Hysteria cover to cover
Love the sounds man!
I ordered mine and can't wait for it to get here! Love your videos! You seem like one of the kindest people on TH-cam. Keep giving us the videos we want!
i almost did what you did; buy one right after Leon's video dropped. but i waited til morning and am waiting for new shipment to come in. i love that the pedal is doing well though and hope it inspires more 80s releases. would love to have an MP-1 pedal!
Those tones are smackin me right in the childhood bro! This pedal was rereleased with you in mind, Robert!
I got in on that midnight Sweetwater release also. Lucky enough to get one shipped the next day. I've found you really need to use this direct. As a preamp into the return of an amp i found it lost a lot of treble. You can use a graphic eq to get some of it back, but it also sounds just as good going through the tonestack of the front end of an amp also. But you lose that magic clean tone though. Direct it sounds pretty awesome. The cleans really shine and you get that crisp edgy distortion tone that so 80s. If you use a trs splitter cable you can run stereo out right into your interface.
Mine is coming next week. I love the sound of it. Brings me back.
Worked on a project in the 90's and the producer brought in a Rockman for the bass player to use. Probably the greatest rock bass tone I've heard on a project I've worked on. I may pick one up just for that.
I tracked all the bass with it as well. I loved the way it sounded.
I have an original Bass Rockman too. Very rare. Sounds great!!
Call me dumb. Is this a pedal version of that headphones amp thing I had in the early 90s? That thing was awesome. I dig this. Just about dead on.
It sure is :)
I still have the Rockman Soloist my wife gave me back in 89/90. Already got the tones baby!
Got one on order!
Yes!
I’ll sell ya one discounted
Gonna get this for sure
I can’t wait!!!! I got mine on preorder!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
You wont regret it
Absolutely love mine! Would probably have to try to stack it in a recording situation at some point...
"Terrible in all the right ways". Love it! Gotta go pull out some Boston vinyl now...
That's what I'm talkin about!
I use it through my Tonex and a clean Fender amp/no cab. Sounds glorious.
Getting one for sure 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yeeeaaaahh! Love it
Me: “Not another weird guitar pedal.” 🤦🏼♂️
Also me: *orders MXR Rockman off Sweetwater in the middle of this video”
Dude what you opened the video with was awesome i listened to it like 10 times killer man
Thanks homie
I used to plug into one of the original ones when I went to lessons, my guitar teacher had one, I loved it. The chorus sounds like it's has a touch of phaser, it's a really unique chorus. By the way, Robert you already have the best 80's tone on TH-cam.
Got mine today!!!! Only waited 35 years!!
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
Sounds awesome. Good job, Robert. I still have the headphone one
I still want a headphone one as well
This is a must!! 👍👍
I was also able to get one of the first ones Sweetwater had. Placed the order while watching Leon's video on release day (Jan 23).
So fun.
YES! It is just a blast to play.
I still have the original from 1982. Then in 1984 they came out with a different version. That was the X-100. And I still have that one also. With the original power supply and everything. If this had the echo like the original, I would probably buy it. I think I still have the rack version here somewhere, for hooking to the amp. I used it for years. Even when playing out. It may have gotten lost in the car wreck on the way home from a gig one night. I don’t think I’ve seen it since then.
I have one coming soon! It is on order! I was hoping you would do a video on this!
Originally didn't plan on making a video but this pedal is just awesome.
God of War the clean part at the end of song is awesome
I agree with your guess about a second edition with the echo in a year or so.
Yeah and they have me hook line and sinker because I'll want to get it as well.
PreOrdered mine. Hoping to use it thru the effects loop of my HeadRush Core.
Yeah, ordered it a couple weeks ago when it came online. Sweetwater sold out fast so I'm on the waiting list. Boston and that sound is one of my favs!
Got this on order from Sweetwater. It’s gonna pair great with my Echoplex pedal
Yes it will!
LOVE the Gods of War part... my god.. I love this pedal.
Def Lep has the best riffs.
Agree..not a daily driver but man its got its nitch down and it sounds great!
Dude you have the best avatar picture. It cracks me up every time I see it.
And to think Scholz was getting those tones with Marshalls and an EQ pedal in the early/mid 70's. But yea....I need that pedal.
I thought it sounded terrible when it originally came out, and can’t believe it is back.
The tones during the hands-on segments -- were they recorded direct or just via your room mic? If the former, it sounds like the internal stereo switch wasn't engaged.
This has convinced me that I just have bad taste in tone because I think it sounds AWESOME. 😂
I want one!!!!
Gonna wait til 💰comes down. Not in the budget right now.👍👍
Robert
In the early 90’s I bought a ROCKMAN SUSTAINER!! I used to place it on top of my Fender Ultra Chorus amp played my Les Paul!! I paid $350.00 for that Sustainer, I wish I kept it 🤦🏼♂️😪
I still have my original Rockman, but I have to build a new power supply for it.
My Sweetwater rep said they have over 2,000 backorders on this pedal, including mine.
Chorus sounds very similar what I can get from my BOSS - Dimension-C - DC-2w
I have sort of a dumb question that has nothing to do with that pedal, which I think is great. When you say Sweetwater sponsors the video, what exactly does that mean? Is there a price to post a video? Sorry to ask this, just curious what it means. Thanks for the help.
They will usually at least provide the gear for free.
I still have my original sandwich size one. Recorded at home with it in my home studio in 2001 and took crap for the sound. Now whatever is old is new again? ha!
I still have an original x100.Great but I think line 6 are the way to go(for me) now.
Can you get the full effect by just using as a pedal will it do more if you use it diffrently
8:25 Saints of Armed Conflicts by Blind Tiger
I can wait for the pedal to be available in my country (in probably six to twelve months time). Unfortunately Sweetwater doesn’t ship here.
Thomann has them.
@ thanks, but unfortunately it will cost me an extra $100 in shipping and custom fees to get it to South Africa. I will just have to be patient.
Oh wow, your thumb position on the bottom frame @:51 is really interesting.
How would it sound with a 12 string?
Wow. NAMM was iPhone 4s exciting this year.
I hope they're not sold out 👍 didn't they have a one you could clip on your belt and use headphones 🎧 ?.
Didn't the OG Rockman X100 also have "Echo" besides Chorus? Had a headphone jack too
Yeah it did. I comment on that at the end of the video. My guess is in a year or so they will release a deluxe version that has echo
@RobertBakerGuitar 👍
Bro, I spent my whole life trying to not sound like that thing, and I hate that I sooooo want one!
It's just 80s In A Box, effortless.
HA! YOu can run but you can't hide from the Rockman!
@RobertBakerGuitar I wish I was still doing band stuff.
Just waltz into a metal audition, warm/tune up with this, watch the noses wrinkle...then click over to your real sound and go, "you ready?"
I live in the UK, and i am just about to buy this from Thoman slightly cheaper, and free delivery for where i am.
I want to get a decent delay that will work perfectly with this pedal.
Any suggestions?
Echoplex is always a great choice
2:48 what is that song?
Love Bites - Def Lep
Syereo out? Headphone out?
No headphone out but there is a stereo switch on the inside but you need a Stereo TRS lead
@DesSherwoodGuitarTuition at least it's capable of it. 🤠👍🏻
Purple Rain all day long!!
The original chip for the echo isn't available. I'd wager that's why they left off the echo. Personally, I'd rather use a good delay pedal.
Honestly, why not make a full Rockman with delay and reverb with channel switching.
Dogs of War ??
Too bad they couldn’t put the delay setting on there.
HighnDry > Pyro >>>>>> Hysteria
This pedal sounds great, but it is VERY noisy.
Oh man what isn't noisy at all
Must be something in my set up… will investigate!!!
😂
No, not for me :/
Totally not for everyone
Its ok of a pedal. Viral? I dont think so
I don't know first batch sold out in a matter of minutes. Videos have gotten hundreds of thousands of views. In the guitar world I'd say thats pretty viral. Other than the Notaklon from JHS when is the last time a pedal has pulled this much attention?
@@RobertBakerGuitarbro I spent my whole life trying to not sound like that thing, and I hate that I sooooo want one!
It's just 80s In A Box, effortless.
Yeah it's sold out in minutes on store websites. Viral may not be the right word, but it sure is in demand.
@Smart-Alex
2 trick pony really. To expensive for it's limits. Rather put the money towards a Wampler or something not so limited.
That's just me though.
@@RobertBakerGuitar
Robert want to take a moment and say thank you for all you do man. I've been a sub for a looong time now. I don't comment much but I watch most every video you put out. I've watched your cha new grow as well as your gear collection.
Again thank you.
I was lucky and got mine the day it was released.
Had mine about 2 weeks. Fun AF. Cuts thru the mix great. Combine with echo plex and your set😅
THIIIIIISS
@RobertBakerGuitar yes
