Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought the X100 wayyy back in the early 90's, and it was way ahead of it's time. Built in chorus, reverb, it sounded excellent. For some reason, it no longer works, and given my loyalty to SR&D Rockman product line, I didn't want to try anything else, I wanted to buy another Rockman headphone amp. So I opted for this one. Today, Dunlop owns SR&D. The Dunlop website doesn't show you much, and it's not clear on what the difference is between the different Rockman Ace products. What's worse is that it doesn't show you the controls on top. Because of my loyalty, I bought it anyway.
Here's what you get. A stripped down version of the X100, a clean sound, and 2 types of distortion, one heavier than the other. The cleaner distortion, takes a second to build up to a heavier sound, it's hard to describe. It starts out like a light distortion, then gets heavier. Not sure why Dunlop would release a product that does this.
I have the classic Rockman rack effects when it was under SR&D, before Dunlop bought the product line. Those products are worth every penny, and I haven't found anything that comes close to sound you get from those effects. I don't know why Dunlop has killed the product line, and offering a watered down version of the best headphone amp ever, the X100, not to mention they discontinued all the rack effects.
The price you pay here on Amazon, is worth it. I wouldn't pay full price for this unit. It's ok, it's not great, or the wow I get from the X100, and maybe there's something else that's better, and worth paying more money for and would have added effects.
