Words by Mixdown staff

Nembrini Audio has drawn inspiration from Tom Scholz’s celebrated Rockman X100* guitar pedal to create the new Rockdude X1000 plugin, an advanced audio processor.

The original Rockman X100 was renowned in the 1980’s for its signature arena rock tones: crystalline cleans, crunchy harmonics and shimmering modulation. Its distinctive calibrated compressed sound and bucket-brigade chorusing can be heard on many iconic rock recordings of this era including bands like Boston, Def Leppard and ZZ top.

The Rockdude X1000 plugin builds on the original capabilities of the Rockman X100 with several modern enhancements to offer musicians a versatile and powerful tool which blends classic tone with modern functionality.

The Pre-Stomp section features a Noise Gate to eliminate unwanted noise, Filters to aid precise shaping, a Wah effect for expressive frequency sweeps and a Booster to enhance signal strength. The plugin’s Cabinet Emulation is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Impulse Response (IR) cabinets giving authentic speaker simulation for a realistic playing experience. Plus, the Effects Section includes a Hall Reverb for expansive ambient sounds and a graphic parametric Equalizer for detailed tonal adjustment.

Nembrini Audio was borne out of the extensive experience of founding namesake Igor Nembrini, with over 10 years of involvement in creating many of the greatest guitar amp plug-ins on the market to his notable name. Needless to say, the company’s exacting emulations always start by perfecting digital reproduction of analogue circuits before being finely tuned by ear to remain true to the original sound. Saying that, it is specialised in the digital reproduction of analogue saturation circuits, whereby the dynamic behaviour of each individual component is carefully modelled and tuned by ear to always achieve the most musical and creamy saturation in the digital world! With that in mind, it does not simply produce musical software but rather musical instruments suitable for every modern musician in search of uncompromising quality — products that work well in any setting and situation to let the creativity of musicians, producers, and mixing engineers flow forth for all to hear!
