MXR Rockman X100 | Analog Preamp | Compressor | Chorus | Distortion

This is a powerful pedal that I could justify holding onto for the versatility, but I just prefer to get these effects with separate units and a bit more control. The compression is especially powerful, the chorus is addictive and 'just right' - it's bold but articulate and not too pitchy. The distortion sounds were spot-on for Boston / Hysteria sounds, however it's not my cup of tea - I found myself really struggling to make those sound and feel right for me to play - but I must admit it was a lot of fun. There is something about the control set and look of the pedal that is especially inviting, it begs you to flip through the modes like a fidget spinner of tones. I love the sliders - a very underutilized control / tactile part of the experience that I think musicians naturally gravitate to. Works flawlessly and will be packed / shipped carefully - thanks for checking it out!
