I used to have a Rockman too, so much fun!  But, I made the mistake of storing it with the battery (batteries?) still in it and they exploded... 

So you know where the batteries go in a Rockman, but not in every Boss pedal ever made...

Pretty much! 

A buddy of mine had one but I can't remember much about it. Listening to a couple of videos on YouTube, I do recognize the sound however.
 
Joe Satriani must have used that thing on Surfing with the Alien, did he? That's THAT sound pretty much exactly.
 
Pretty incredible device for the time.

Just to be able to walk around playing guitar with distortion while wearing headphones.  Kids now-a-days have NO idea how innovative that was at the time!

Ah, 1985... 

 
Never owned one, but the older brother of a friend had one and let me play with that and his priceless Gibson flying V for an entire afternoon.
 
Heaven on earth. :)

I had one called a Hot Watt back in '83 or 84'. Road trips were great. Just sit in the back seat and get lost in the sound... :)

Cool, thanks Rain. Really liked the part where HE talks about getting two warranty cards signed by Jeff Beck...yea, that would make my lifetime also.
 
Thanks again,

I had two rockman's back in the day. Recorded about 20 songs (or so) with them.
