There's always the Rockman gear. The original Scholz/Boston tone in a box. This is a short video by David Accomando showing off his Rockmodule rig: JpEcxUrn7Ts He has some more videos on his web site: http://www.perfectsoundrockrefurbs.com/rockman101basics.html

That may be the thing. It sounds great when it's stereo, but mixing down to mono ruins things. I'm not a sound engineer, but I have read in some places that mono output should be considered as part of the constraints for a mix. Perhaps the sound was driven by mono/stereo tradeoffs.

This is a little comparison of my Dunlop Guitar Ace, versus my SR&D Guitar Ace. The Guitar Ace on the left is Dunlop manufactured, evidenced by the Benicia address. It appears to have been made in 1995. Wow, I just bought the Dunlop Guitar Ace in 2013. I guess they are still trying to sell off...

There's a video too: QHna4uyvC5s By the way, I'm not on the Peavey dole for this. I've bought all my Peavey gear. I was really on the fence about getting the Bandit 112. It has a nice feature list. It's two channel with independent EQ's. There are voicing switches that provide a simple...

I felt like the compressor was set a little too aggressively on my Dunlop Ace, so I pulled off the cover to see what could be done about it. I found a single adjustment that seems to control the gain or something else about the compressor. I found a setting that I like better. Has anyone tried...

I do think that wide gives a better doubling effect. I like it too.

I'm a fan of the Peavey gear. The Bandit 112 has a really good reputation: http://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/804/116535/Bandit%26reg%3B%26nbsp%3B112

Just get a Rockman Stereo Chorus or Stereo Chorus/Delay and put it in your present effects loop. They'll probably beat any stomp boxes that you can get, even if they haven't been refurbished. You don't have to use a Sustainor or Distortion generator to drive the other Rockmodules, though many...

If you want something new, Dunlop is still making the Rockman Guitar Ace: CKIX88moIHM The Ace family is very simple, though I have one and like the amp simulation. You can also pick up the older, but more sophisticated Rockman amplifiers on eBay without much effort.

Sure, but I don't think it's entirely collectors that are the source of the demand. Studios still list Rockman gear in their equipment lists: http://www.innerearstudio.com/gear.php http://www.greatdividestudios.com/record.html

Oh, I don't know. You should see what the Rockman Stereo Echo goes for on eBay. The Rockman Smart Gate and Guitar Compressor also fetch decent prices.

Good luck to you on your project. All this digital gear needs some more analog competition! I don't mind using digital, it's as legitimate a way to do signal processing as analog. That being said, it is hard to ignore all the clever engineering in analog signal processing. I'm also wary of...

Ok, I remembered to turn the sweep on this time ;) qcmWW3qAGfk

There are a couple of fellows in the business, offering repairs, refurbishment and modifications: http://www.perfectsoundrockrefurbs.com/ and: http://www.rockman-repair.com/ One bummer, is it appears that gonnahitcharide.com is having trouble. There was a lot of community knowledge there...

I just noticed that I left the "sweep stop" enabled while demonstrating the Rockman Stereo Chorus with the Rockman Distortion Generator. I'll have to do another demo with the sweep enabled sometime soon. Sorry about that...

OK, here is my Rockman Stereo Chorus, together with my Rockman Distortion Generator (around 4:18 in the video): wGvLnx6kPDs

I've added a Rockman Distortion Generator to my Rockmodule collection. It's worth pointing out that the Distortion Generator provides a full amplifier/cabinet simulation, so it's really intended to be sent straight to a mixer.

One thing to add about David's video is I don't really know what his recording lineup was. My lineup was: Guitar -> Sustainor -> Stereo Chorus -> Mixer -> Computer I recorded to GarageBand with the "Audio Resolution" set to "Better". I had a microphone mixed in for my voice, but the Rockman...

You should check out David Accomando's video of his Rockman system. He demonstrates soloing with the Rockman Stereo echo, contrasting no chorus, with use of the Rockman Stereo Chorus. JpEcxUrn7Ts

It's a really great sounding stereo chorus. The audio was recorded with a direct connection, so it should give you a pretty good feel for the sound. I think you'll like it.
