You might want to take a closer look at the Sustainor, Distortion Generator and XPR. They all provide full guitar amplifier/cabinet simulations that you can run directly to a sound board. The Sustainor includes a preamp/compressor, a noise gate, distortion and filters, along with a cabinet...

I realized my photo is slightly misleading. I don't have the Rockman Sustainor plugged into the Peavey guitar amp under it. It's just sitting on top of it. I was using my little mixing board with headphones. The Rockman Sustainor provides a full amplifier and cabinet simulation, so it can be...

I was kind of beating up on the Ace but it is said that they have been used in the studio. Phil Collen from Def Leppard used the Ace.

If you had the Rockman Ace, they are bottom of the line. The 9 volt power limits their headroom and the noise floor becomes noticeably more obvious because of it. The Ace is just the amp simulation, with no effects. Dunlop compounds this by shipping the Ace with fairly awful headphones. Using...

My recently acquired Rockman Sustainor. It sure sounds nice!

I was kind of surprised to see 5 Rockman Distortion Generators up for sale on Ebay. I just picked up a Sustainor, the other Rockman amp simulator Rockmodule. The Distortion Generator is said to have more flexible distortion settings, but it doesn't do all the things a Sustainor does. So much...

Another Rockman Sustainor Model 100 just sold for $183.51 on Ebay. I recently bought a Sustainor Model 100A for $132.50. It was a bit younger, but had more cosmetic damage.

There are some really excellent samples that have been posted. Check out: http://www.rockman.fr/Samples/Samples.htm Everyone can judge for themselves.

You do have to be careful about the gauge of speaker wire that gets used. See: http://www.perfectsoundrockrefurbs.com/ ... at%20Gives? Best, --Bruce

Which Rockman headphone amp? Did you use it with decent headphones or full range speakers?

I just lost a bid on a SR&D (Grey button) Acoustic Guitar Pedal. It went for $81. I was a little surprised because it was kind of beaten up looking and it wasn't obvious if the power supply was part of it. Better luck next time I guess.

Dunlop should consider re-issuing the Rockman Stereo Echo. They may just be missing out on an opportunity.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Try to find a Rockman Guitar Monitor. It's a 500 watt Guitar Stack using either the Rockmodules or Rockman XPR. I think SR&D made around 50.

I wouldn't be surprised if analog gear like the Rockmodules and XPR gain some ground in the marketplace. It wasn't too long ago that I saw Guitar Center promoting Rupert Neve Designs gear. I guess the movie "Sound City" helped with that. I've bought my share of "custom shop" analog gear.

The dimensions of the 6505 212 are 24.125" (H) x 30.125" (W) x 12" (D). You might need to do some measuring. Going back to your original remarks, it sounds like you are thinking of using your existing amplifier head. Having the separate amplifier head and a 212 might be easier to haul in you car...

The closed speaker cabinetry does make it heavy as combos go, but it's a one piece affair. I wouldn't carry one around by myself. A little hand truck solves a lot of the weight issue. Some might find that a separate amplifier head and 2x12 speaker cabinet would be easier to haul around.

You might consider the Peavey 6505 212, a tube, 60 watt combo: http://www.peavey.com/products/index.cf ... g%3B%20212 It has a sealed back, giving it the kind of low end and directionality of a 4x12 cabinet. I don't think the 6505 212 is that well known, but its big brothers, the 6505, 6505+...

I thought I'd highlight this for anyone that has a Rockman Sustainor or Distortion Generator sitting in their collection of gear. They both provide full amplifier/cabinet simulations. Rather than plugging them into a guitar amplifier, trying running them to an amplifier system with full range...
