There’s a lot of talk these days about digital modeling amps. Let’s face it, what modeling really consists of are preset sounds intended to imitate other amplifiers. When Rocktron decided to make the ultimate DSP amps, we opted not to follow the trend of mocking the greatness of the amps from the past, but to break new ground for the amps of tomorrow.

Our new TABOO amps employ Rocktron’s latest in digital and tube technology. We have combined the power of the most advanced DSP engin by Motorola®, and the warmth found only in the popular 12AX7 tube to produce the finest possible guitar tones. TABOO brings decades of experience with professional preamps, effects systems and power amplification into a single package of awesome power, performance and sound quality.

The TABOO contains the most advanced EQ available on a guitar amp today, including Pre and Post distortion EQ and an awesome analog Global EQ circuit for achieving a bigger-than-life tone even at low volumes. Whether live on stage, or recording, mic free operation is simple with the stereo XLR outputs. With rocktron’s famous cabinet simulator circuitry on both the TABOO TWIN and TABOO 100, direct recording is the first choice for even the most finicky studio engineers.

We have also included a very user-friendly interface that Guitar Player Magazine describes as “a masterpiece of functional elegance.” Actual knobs for real amp control including: Bass, Mid, Mid Frequency, Treble, Effect Level, Delay Level, Reverb Level, Input/Output Level and of course Gain. Activating/deactivativating effects is as simple as pressing the button marked with the desired effect such as Phaser, Flanger, Pitch, Tremolo, Wah, Chorus, Delay and Reverb! It’s that easy, no hassles of having to scroll through annoying and confusing menus of different effect algorithms (advanced mode allows more parameter adjustment for effect modification.)

The Tap Tempo button located on the front panel (and footswitch jack on the back) allows the player to adjust the delay time to the tempo of the song for an absolute professional sounding performance.

The TABOO series is loaded. You can tweak parameters to your heart’s content, or just go for it with no tweaking at all. Expert EQ parameters and in-depth effect parameters allow elaborate signal path configurations and precise control from the 128 factory presets, all of which can be user modified. Instant MIDI control is available including program changes, controller changes and SYSEX dump/load capabilities.

The TABOO TWIN and TABOO 2×12 extension cabinets, both feature a closed (removable) back design to produce a well focused yet spread out spectrum of sonic brilliance. The TABOO 4×12 extension cabinet features for of our custom designed 75-watt Eminence speakers. The TABOO extension cabinets share the same look and durability of the TABOO TWIN and TABOO 100.
