MXR X100 - Iconic Rockman Sound, Modern Convenience

This authentic recreation provides four selectable tone modes:

• Clean 1 (CLN1): A mid-focused clean tone with tight articulation.
• Clean 2 (CLN2): Pristine, bright clean sound with added clarity.
• Edge: A dynamic overdrive that responds beautifully to pick attack.
• Distortion: A thick, harmonically rich overdrive with legendary sustain.

The Rockman X100 is known for its built-in dynamic compression, ensuring consistent volume and clarity across all modes. The pedal’s classic sound is further enhanced by the onboard analog chorus, powered by an MN3007 bucket brigade chip, adding depth and movement to your playing.
