Nearly 30 years of Specializing in Repair & Refurbishing Rockman Rockmodules



Hello, David here!
Next year will mark 30 years of Rockman service.
Wow, time has flown for sure.
To celebrate early, we decided to SLASH our service fees.
We hope to set the example of "going against the flow" of global inflation.
~D

What do we do?
We Refurbish Rockmodules with our Stage 3 Refurbishment procedure.
Over the years, David has seen many issues with these units and he has developed many techniques to restore them back to the way they were designed to sound....great! He calls this procedure a Stage 3 Refurb.
Among other steps, a Stage 3 Refurb consists of:
A pre-work Operations Check.
Replacing of ALL Electrolytic Capacitors. Rockman-Repair.com was one the first, if not the very first to stress the importance of changing expired caps. Yes, it was an uphill battle as, hardly no one heard of it back then. Now it is common knowledge. "I use high quality, name brand caps....of course." ~D
Addressing all Grounding Issues.
DEEP and extremely thorough cleaning of all Sliders and Switches with a multi-chemical, multi-step process.
Resoldering of key Solder Joints.
Multi-Point Inspection. "About 1 in 25 units have a Manufacturer Defect!" ~D
A Post-Work Operations Check.
A "Critical Ear" Sound Check. "This is the fun part but, this is the time when very subtle issues can be found." ~D

What is covered under the cost of a Stage 3 Refurb?
We install New jack nuts. (unless you specify to keep on the original black ones)
We cover all Minor repairs. For instance: Solder Issues, Dirt Issues and many more.
We cover many Major Repairs are covered. Common Components such as: IC’s, Jacks, AC Cords, LEDs, Caps, AC Switches, Push Button Switches, Push Buttons, Resistors, ect that are readily available are covered.
"Don't worry, I have a good selection of Obsolete components on hand." ~D


Do you do partial repairs? "No. The point of a Refurb is to make it 100% right. Half-assed work is not my style." ~D

See above description of our Stage 3 Refurb.

The Sus Refurb also includes replacing the input jack wire with a high quality, silver plated, shielded, coaxial wire.

We can locate the Input Jack in the front or the rear. If no request is made, we will keep it where it was.

 

 

NEW! Semi-Crunch Mod is included.

"I have found the stock Semi-Clean to be very lackluster. This Mod adds a bit of crunch to the clean. It strikes a nice balance between the Clean and Edge Modes. Other modes are unchanged. If I already done a Refurb on your Sus and you would like to try it. No problem. Cover the $25 shipping and I will do it for No Charge. And while I am in there, I will make sure everything is perfect and give the sliders and switches a fresh cleaning." ~D

This is the SR&D Lead Level Update for the Sus 200 that speeds up the compressor release time. The result is subtle, but it helps keep fast notes from blurring.

::: Digitech MEQ Stage 3 Refurb Service :::

"Of all the EQs out there, the Digitech Mono 28 is my personal favorite. Why? 'cause the key to tone is Tweaking the Freqs baby. As with anything I put in my rig, I give it my "once over". And just like the Rockman line, there are issues that need addressed. So, I have developed a procedure that restores them to as new as possible. I now offer this to the public. ~D

Ok, Ready to restore your sound? What's the next step?
1. Email us for shipping address.

2. Include in your email: Your PayPal email address. (This saves time asking)

 3. Include a list of any issues you are having and/or, any Mods or Options you would like.

4. PLEASE PAD WELL. If the module is not snugly packed, it can be damaged in shipping.

5. We hand-receive most boxes. So, "Signature Required" is not needed but, optional. We will properly insure your return package. Note, this may mean "Signature Required."

6. We recommend USPS as, they are about 2 days faster and many times than not, less expensive. You can send by any means you wish, but it will be returned USPS. USPS provides free boxes.

7. It is very helpful to send us the Tracking Number. We can be VERY busy and we need to know what is coming in and when.

8. Unless you are selling them to us, do not send Racktrays or Racktray Screws.

9. Unexpected issues are RARE but possible. If its an issue not covered under the cost of the Stage 3 Refurb, we will get your approval before proceeding.

10. After the work is completed, we will send a PayPal invoice.

11. Make sure your PayPal shipping address is current and confirmed. We can only ship to your confirmed address.

 12. If sending internationally, double boxing is mandatory. From Canada? it
is optional, eh.

13. Please monitor your emails often. We are sometimes waiting days & days & days & days for a response. This holds up the queue and adds turnaround time to the folks behind you.
14. If you have no PayPal account, we also accept Zelle or Bitcoin.



 Thank You for your cooperation!!!
