Good considering the price...

For the money, this is a good headphone amplifier unit. The headphones that come with the unit are lousy. Replace them with good headphones and you will be set for rockin' out. The distortion effect is great on heavy setting but is almost not noticable on semi setting. I do not get the "Boston" sound from the unit like the old Scholz model from the early 80s but considering the cost, it is a great little practice amp. The construction of the amp box is solid and lightweight. Some people complain about the hiss but once I replced the headphone with a middle grade set that I already owned, the hiss is mostly gone. Keep in mind the price of the unit and you will be satisfied with it...

Leave You Wishing for More

Great idea, but wish there were something between "clean" and "semi-distort". Also, not enough of a difference between "semi" and "distort". One is "dirty" and the other is "filthy". I wish there were a nice warm "fat" in there somewhere. Think of a stream of warm milk. You can't dial up that tone here. However, nothing to prevent you from using your other effects between the guitar and the Rockman. Very convenient and still a good buy. If they tweek it, it will cost 100 beans.

    This is one of the best pieces of gear that I have bought. You can practice all day and all night without disturbing anyone! This little device gives a great "Boston" sound. Add a little reverb and some delay and you have as close to Tom Scholz' sound as I've heard. This is an excellent purchase at a very reasonable price! You cannot go wrong buying this device.

  • Ideal for practicing without annoying neighbors

    I had one in the 80's, this 2017 product is not near as nice as they used to be. But I still like it, I would not use this one in the studio like I did my old one back in the 80's.
