I was curious if anyone here has some opinions about FRFR (Full Range, Flat Response) cabinets. I've been doing some searching and found: The Matrix FR12 is a powered, full range, flat response cabinet with DSP functions: http://usa.matrixamplification.com/speakers/fr12.html The AccuGroove...

I was curious if anyone has used Rockman auto-clean with a volume pedal? For those who haven't come across it before, auto-clean is a feature on the Rockman Sustainor and Distortion Generator amp simulators. It compensates volume and treble, allowing you to go from clean to distortion using the...

I'm putting together a half-rack system using some Rockman Rockmodules that I have. I've been looking at the Gator G-Tour racks. I'm shopping around for some kind of stereo half-rack full-range power amplifier to be part of it. Any suggestions? Thanks, --Bruce

I put together a short feature demo of the Rockman Guitar Ace, a headphone amplifier: xdHAF60Mad8 The Guitar Ace is a practice amp, so it's not nearly as impressive as the Rockmodules, though I think it is a convenient little amp for spur of the moment playing.

The previous Rockman Chorus / Delay demo I did was in stereo. If you use the Chorus / Delay in the effects loop of a conventional guitar amp, you might be more likely to use it in mono mode. I put together a demo of this and put it up on YouTube. Let me know if you have any comments or...

I put together a little demo of my Rockman Chorus / Delay. If you are into analog guitar gear, you might like it. Best, --Bruce GHYSMI00IEE

Even if you aren't into the Rockman gear, you might get a kick out of the kinds of sounds he was making with his "Hyperspace pedal": NYXgfzVjrTw

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

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...

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...

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...

I thought I'd take a few minutes to talk about the history of the Rockman. There are several different models that have different features and capabilities. I owe a debt of gratitude to Jark for his page on the Rockman headphone amplifiers: http://www.rockman.fr/Reviews/Rockman.htm His work...
