It was more than just a headphone amplifier, though, as the X100's recording console connectivity, tone-tuning capabilities, and integrated effects made it the studio secret weapon that would later define the polished, chorus-heavy sound of 1980s arena rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are four preset modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLN2: A sparkling, crisp tone that is perfect for ambient passages and arpeggios. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLN1: Mid-focused clean with attack and punch. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Dynamically reacts to input gain and volume; crunchy overdrive with little clipping. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion: A sustained, high-gain tone ideal for soaring solos. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamics of Compression \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sophisticated analogue compression circuit is a feature of the pedal. While dirty modes use a fast release for a tighter, punchier response, clean modes benefit from a gradual release that provides a smooth sustain. Input gain level is strongly related to compression depth. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Analogue ChorusWith a single button click, the chorus's rich, shimmering modulation—powered by the vintage MN3007 bucket-brigade chip—instantly adds the ethereal sheen that is typical of 80s rock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdaptable Connectivity \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, spatial stereo output is provided via the mono and stereo modes, which can be switched on internally or through TRS wiring.  External control: For foot-control mode switching, MXR TRS Split + Tap or a comparable device is compatible. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands-on dialling is tactile and straightforward thanks to controls and build sliders for input gain and output volume. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitching between presets and modulation is made easier by an LED-indicated mode selector button and chorus button. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe pedal is robust enough for road use, has buffered bypass, and operates on 9 V DC (with an optional adaptor).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse Cases and Tone \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e'80s Arena Rock Vibe: Ideal for anybody looking for the smooth, glossy guitar tone seen on albums such as Def Leppard's Hysteria. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDI Recording Excellence: Without the need for microphoned amplifiers, the pedal produces a gorgeously textured tone when used as a direct input preamp. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive Stomping: Enhances soaring solos or riff-driven rhythms with character, particularly when the chorus is engaged and the mode is clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat : Pedal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply : DC 9 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply included : No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology : Analog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue bypass : Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Anitom OOD","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":54226706170202,"sku":"MXR MX100","price":244.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1017\/5810\/7994\/files\/MXR-MX100-B.jpg?v=1780584428","url":"https:\/\/anitom.co\/products\/mxr-rockman-x100-analog-tone-processor-pedal-for-guitar","provider":"Anitom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
