Members Randy Van Sykes Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 For what Tom was doing/writing, it was the right tone for Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tlbonehead Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Originally posted by ckreon i mean seriously...wow.for what they do, it doesn't get better. On a scale of 1-10 I'll give it about a 4. Its certainly not the worst guitar tone I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rockman company went out of buisness. Its not really a #1 priority or anything to nail it...i prefer my own sound:thu: . Originally posted by Randy Van SykesMy friend has a Rockman (direct unit)...I used an Ibanez distortion pedal with it for more gain and it was almost the exact Boston tone.I think the CD Hysteria by Def Leppard used Rockmans as well... Yeah, ive got one of the old rockman rackmount stereo chorus/delays. By far my favorite peice of gear...I got it a couple years ago off ebay and its been in everyone of my rigs since.

Members carlygtr56 Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 The first Boston album , IMO, has awesome guitar tones. From interviews, it was MXR pedals, Echoplex, Marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got goose bumps from the mere mention of that solo. Haven't heard it in a long time but spent many hours in my bedroom as a teenager playing along to that one! Might have to go break it out now! Thanks for the memories (and the mammaries in your avatar! ) What's the shirt say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carlygtr56 Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Maybe it's a dated sound now, but in '76 when that stuff hit the radio and clubs, that was a great tone. Before EVH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members code_blue Posted May 21, 2006 Members Share Posted May 21, 2006 Originally posted by ckreon i mean seriously...wow.for what they do, it doesn't get better. It was kind of over processed with analog effects so it sorta sounds good. David Gilmour has one of the best lead tones, Pink Floyd era. El Hefe from NOFX also has an amazing lead tone, Mesa Mark III w/no EQ. And so did the old guitarist, who used a Laney on the album "Ribbed".
