I’ll buy it from you if you’re still selling it.

Hi,

I have a Rockman sustainor 200 (White face from). On the back it is stamped Dec 11 1989. Serial number SP20012. I am the original owner. Never gigged with it. It’s never been out of the house except whne I move.

I want to sell it.

Any advice?

Thanks,

I play a lot of blues and have a rockman xp 100.My cousin used to use it to practice with.He played with the black crows for a while.Anyway a few years before katrina he stayed with me for a bit and was having problems with the jack and took it all apart and left it in my closet when he moved.My amp died at the time,so I took it out to have a look see before I tossed it.Come to find out it had a loose output capacitor.I soldered it and the input jack and it works fine now.I have been using it to practice with since.I like to play blues like clapton,hendrix,srv and some of the oldies like buddy guy and bb.I like the amp but it is really hard to get the sounds I want.I would gladly trade it for a twin reverb.can anyone give any suggestions on adjusting these things.

I don’t know if this is where to post it, I have a perfect photo of an XP212 which I noticed wasn’t on the site with the pictures of other Rockman gear.
They only made about a dozen of these and I have one in “showroom” condition price tag still on, never left the house… I was going to sell but I guess it’s off to eBay. They are cool though 50/100w switchable, 100 foot pedal presets, true stereo (add power cabinet & effects & flange go side-to side. Anyhow if whoever runs the site wants a photo to add to the collection I can give them one and all the specs since it wasn’t listed or shown.

PS: It’s for sale; collectors only; not bargain hunters.

I’m not sure about the ACE series but the x100 took a special power supply that required plus and minus voltages. I’m not sure the Godlyke Power-All will power up an X100. I’m not sure about the ACE series though.

To Donald Breneman: Don. Grab a Godlike Power-All. It will power anything. I’ve been using mine for a year powering 4 pedals and no problems thus far. Musician’s Friend has them for $40 and they’ll power up to 10 units. Good deal.

The Sustainor Manual (in the Bypass Section) only addresses bypass mode functionality. If the Sustainor is used as an in/out side-chain effect with a driven tube amp normally running into the high impedance inputs, can the Sustainor operate properly inserted into the high gain signal path even though the manual states it’s a low impedance device? And on a (spiritual) side note: To blame someone (Tom Scholz) for someone else’s (Brad Delp) suicide is totally bogus. Whatever Tom may have allegedly said regarding Brad (or other Boston members) is a moot topic. Just like in marriage, acrimony is part & parcel of a band break as well. I’ll bet that Brad had “other issues” which led to his demise. Blaming others for one’s deficient backbone is not only erroneous, but wholly unfair. Tom was the Boston (Rockman) Mastermind after all. randyfricke@yahoo.com

Legend has it when Tom was using Marshalls he used an MXR EQ with the settings in the picture before the amp. If the GT10 has a pre-distortion EQ I would these settings a try. I've also heard some people using a wah pedal left in a middle position to kind of get close. In the later Rockman gear there was careful tweaking of the EQ before and after distortion stages.
