I have a Peavey Delta Blues 115. You didn't list that one ;)

I thought I'd add one more thing. The Rockman line is probably one of the few lines that scaled from a headphone amp (Rockman Ace, X100, etc...) to a 500 watt stack (PA500 plus XPR or Rockmodules). Perhaps the only.

That is a very nice system. I'll be starting with a Sustainor and Chorus/Delay soon. It's going to be a long way till I get to having a PA500. I bet they don't come to market very often.

It looks like you might have a pair of the Rockman Guitar Monitor Systems with the PA500 and cabinets. Do I have that right?

A couple of the final products produced by SR&D were based on what was called Ultimatum. A third product, the Acoustic Guitar Pedal was also produced. The Ultimatum products are based on two distinct clipping stages in series. The first part of the Ultimatum circuit has a compressor, clipping...

That's the beauty of it. You can still try an X-100 now. I have a 25 year old SR&D Ace. It still works.

Tom Scholz said he made two, and they they take some effort to keep working. I'm guessing that's why SR&D didn't sell them. I remember seeing a YouTube video. Here it is: PsI2I5UIZ8k

Hey Little B, thanks for the pictures. Best, --Bruce

The rockman-gearup.com web site is back on the air. It is a forum for SR&D equipment users. It's intended to provide a forum on the Internet for the users of SR&D designed gear, along with the re-released equipment sold by Dunlop. It's my hope to continue the community provided by Patrick Pearce...

Here's another article that gives a more technical description of the Rockman Headphone Amplifiers: http://www.rockman.fr/Reviews/Rockman.htm It makes for good reading. Best, --Bruce

I think the reason the Rockman line works so well for guitar players, is because the guy who created it was a guitar player. I believe it made a big difference with all the SR&D gear. Best, --Bruce

That is somewhat true with the Rockman headphone amplifiers, the compressor has fixed settings. With the Sustainor and Distortion Generator, the story is different. You can adjust the compressor. You can also use EQ's more easily with the Sustainor and Distortion Generator. The Distortion...

Sorry for the bad news, but the old forum was lost in a database crash. Patrick wasn't able to recover it. We have to start again...

I did a writeup on the XP series as well. Take a look at: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=151156 Best, --Bruce

The Rockman Ace family is a much simpler kind of Rockman, but they sound pretty good too. I'm always surprised how well they record. Here's mine. You can still buy them from Dunlop.

The Sustainor is probably one of the most complete amp simulators ever made. You just need to add effects (chorus, echo, etc...) if you want them, and run the output to the mixing board.

Jark has a great article on the PGE: http://www.rockman.fr/Reviews/PGE2.htm There still seems to be a fair amount of Rockman gear trade on eBay. There's a Rockman Superhead up there right now. That's one of the XP series.

I never noticed the Arion Hott Watt II before. That's pretty cool!

This posting is intended to introduce the XP series of pre-amplifiers and amplifiers produced by SR&D between 1989 and 1994. The XP series integrates the technologies of the Rockman X100 and the Rockmodules into an all in one system that can be programmed with up to 100 configurations. The XP...

The Rockmodules are a line of professional quality, rack mount guitar effects, introduced in 1986. There are roughly three categories of Rockmodules, the amplifier simulators, the sound processors and the control devices. The amp simulators include the Sustainor and Distortion Generator. The...
