I think the Rockman Stereo Echo might be one of the most popular of the Rockmodules. They consistently fetch a premium on EBay from what I've noticed. Getting the older Rockman Stereo Chorus/Delay is a bit easier. Check out: http://www.rockman.fr/Reviews/CD.htm Best, --Bruce

There is the MXR Smart Gate M135 and Smart Gate Pro M235. According to rockman.fr the M135 was re-created by Bob Cedro. The controls certainly look the same as the Rockman Smart Gate. I wonder what would happen if they brought back the Rockman Stereo Echo? The Stereo Echo seems to command a...

That's the cool thing about the XP series, being able to preset almost everything. I've seen guitar players with multiple pedals of the same type with different settings. The presets eliminate that kind of pedal dancing. I can also understand how the direct connection really simplifies the job...

There aren't that many 115 combos around that I've noticed. The Peavey Delta Blues 115 and Fender '65 Twin Custom 15 are the two that come to mind for me. The Peavey has EL84's, while the Fender has 6L6 power tubes. I have the Peavey. Any other 15 inch speaker fans out there? Best, --Bruce

Little B, I was curious what you prefer for live work? It seems like the XPR would provide the easiest programmability. Do you go out and do live shows with your Sustainor and Distortion Generator in the mix? Best, --Bruce

I thought I'd highlight the Rockman Smart Gate. The Smart Gate is said to be the Rockman item that has the best reputation amongst the non-Rockman owners. It is a dedicated noise gate that builds on the noise gate technology in the Rockman Sustainor. The rack-format Smart Gate was expanded as a...

I thought I'd add a shout out for the Rockman Guitar Compressor. It was one of the Rockmodules targeting guitarists, who might not be using the Sustainor or Distortion Generator amp simulators. Those have built-in compressors. Here's an ad for the Rockman Guitar Compressor from 1989...

I think the Rockman Distortion Generator is one of the more mis-understood Rockman Products. I've seen some demos on YouTube where guitarists try to use it as a distortion unit. They miss that it is a full amplifier simulation. It includes compression, distortion and cabinet simulation...

This is a picture of my rather worn Delta Blues. I like it lots!

This is the one possible shortcoming of the Delta Blues 115. It's 30 watts. You would have to add a external speaker cabinet to make it louder.

This might not be the most obvious choice, but you might find it interesting. The Peavey Delta Blues 115 is definitely more voiced toward the mid and low end sound. It's positioned for blues playing in the market, but you don't have to use it that way. You can find a good example of the Delta...

There are a couple of interesting ads for the Rockman with Joe Satriani in them. I thought I'd highlight them. One is for the Rockman Sustainor, a guitar amplifier simulator: http://www.rockman.fr/Ads/90_02_GW.jpg The other is for the totally over the top Rockman Guitar Monitor, a 500 watt...

Thanks for the shout out!

The Rockman Stereo Echo continues to fetch a pretty impressive price on Ebay. I guess they don't make it to market that often.

So much cool gear, so little time….

That makes sense. I didn't realize he was using the headphone amplifiers in Rockmounts. I wonder if he ever used the Rockmodules or XPR?

It sounds like the Marshall was being used as a personal stage monitor for Lynch along with being sent to the FOH mixer? I guess the Rockman output might not have been in his monitor mix.

Having 100 presets for compressor, pre-EQ, preamp, post-EQ, chorus and echo/reverb is really cool. It can eliminate a big pile of pedals. Even if you don't dig the Rockman gear, it makes an interesting example of how to line up effects.

You have a nice rig there. Thanks for posting it.

This is an article I've been piecing together over the last few months. I play guitar as a hobby and do some writing from time to time. The SR&D product line is interesting, so I picked on it. I based a lot of the article on material from rockman.fr and the user manuals. I hope you find it...
