COMPLETE Rockman Ultimatum

[Aquaticwombat]

My friend's dad is convinced it is the greatest distortion of all time. I think he might be a Boston fan.

He's probably right.

That is a pretty big circuit, definitely no Tubescreamer or Rat.

I'll keep my eye out for one, they show up for somewhat reasonable prices occasionally.

That was my thought when I looked at it. I mean, I enjoy building 50 big muffs as much as the next guy, but at least this would be something different, and I know Rockman has a cult following. It might have good ROI

I'm all for some Rockman stuff, profitability is not important.

I've been meaning to do it for years but just haven't had enough free time to stop and devote to getting them done. I have the Goat Generator that I need to finish tracing as well.

Coincidentally I also have a fixed EQ design coming in my next batch of prototypes. It's basically an EQ that is fixed to the Tom Scholz 6-band EQ settings.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh so much.

Not to worry - you can BIN on ebay for the completely reasonable price of $8,310.10.

I was down at their guitar repair shop the other day grabbing my tele that they did some fret work on. The man was legitimately excited about that pedal. And apparently only like 3 people have heard of it as the Internet is void of info.

Well..... lets find out, shall we?

Let your friends dad know we're on it.

The Penultimatum.

(And yes I am aware that penultimate means second-last.)

I may never financially recover from this.

Have mentioned how much I appreciate you?

 

[Robert]

Now to be fair I have no idea what to expect. I guess it's Rockman-flavored? I don't know.

There are only like three videos on YouTube and the recording quality is so bad it's impossible to tell what the pedal actually sounds like.

It's probably an 800 dollar DS-1. Lol

I've seen a pic of the PCB before, it's a pretty intense circuit. I sure as heck hope it's not a DS-1 or Tubescreamer.... or Crunch Box.

I don't think we have much to worry about there. Tom Scholz wasn't a cloner. Possibly an "over-engineerer", but not a cloner.

DS-2, then...

 

[Robert]

Your friends dad might be right. This sounds like a Rockman, plugged into the front of an amp.

Most convincing version I've heard.

Let me take THAT home tonight…
