That gives me flashbacks but not quite that severe.

When I was in my 20s I had one of the original Rockman headphone amps. Sadly it didn’t have an aux-in, so to play along with songs I would strap the Rockman (Which took EIGHT AA batteries!) on one hip and strap my Walkman on the other hip, Then stack two pairs of headphones on top of each other on my gigantic head. I would then walk around outside with my S300AD practicing. It was glorious and I got quite a few curious looks.

I’m surprised I never got mugged as it wasn’t the best of neighborhoods, but it worked and sounded great.

And whatever you played along with....sounded like Boston.

(I had one myself. (Stereo chorus and slapback delay...instant Tom Scholz! ) I went as far as to also get the RockMount, where you inserted the Rockman into a single spaced rack, complete w/ a power block that went where the batteries went and plugged into a built in transformer. It basically turned the rockman into a rackmount effect you'd run into an amp. Wish I still had both. They seem to have become very collectible.
