Here is the schematic. Doesn’t seem to wild under the hood, I think Smallbear sells the MN3007 and the Bellings equivalents.

Aw stop it. That's just being cruel. The ones I didn't like only had the single clean channel and I'm not up enough on my Rockman knowledge to know the model number. I did very little session work but did an impromptu track thru one of these little devils into a Tascam 4-track using someone else's guitar and to this day it's one of the best tracks I've ever done. Why I never bought one, I'll never know.

Don't worry, we're doing this.... and I don't want to stop at the X-100....
BTW: You're probably talking about the Soloist.
Yeah, that's probably it. I never played any of the individual modules although I understand that everyone in Scholz's touring band uses them. I'd just like to get a handle on the original. I'm totally onboard. Those headphones sucked and it STILL sounded awesome. Never got a handle on how to push the sound thru a live rig and not sure how Alex Lifeson did it when he had to do the clean parts for "Limelight" on the first Moving Pictures tour. Geez, it just occurred to me that you're doing a 60watt loud-as-sh*t power amp... OMG!!...

If that's taken, "PetroHombre" or "LithoGuy"

I agree, the Mockman just sounded like any other distortion to me.
The EQ and stereo doubling sections are what makes the Rockman sound.

Whoa...so this is a big one for me.
A few years ago, when I got back into guitar and pedals after a long hiatus, I kept hearing the Rockman in all the songs of my youth but I didn’t know what it was. A lot of searching later, I ended up discovering what a treasure it is, and posting a WTB on my local Craigslist. I had two replies that day (I’m in Nashville) and one of them sold me his X100 with RockAdaptor for $150. Sounds amazing and hasn’t needed a recap yet.
Not wanting to hoard these tones for myself, and since I can’t wait for George Tripps to do something useful with the brand, I’ve been thinking about how to make a pedal version a reality. I mean the whole package too; chorus, delay, two cleans, two distortions. I’ve just recently been talking to some dev friends about DSP possibilities, but that’s about it.
Definitely interested in PedalPCB’s take!

You know something I don't know?
I mean, I'm sure you do... probably plenty of things..... but in regards to this particular subject?

Didn’t Dunlop buy Scholz’ company back in the nineties? They only seem to manufacture the little Ace headphone amps.
