Like there's any modern tone that can even get in the ballpark of influencing millions of guitarists and being on numerous
legendary albums like the Rockman did.
Like their own tone is some shining example of awesomeness.
Sounds mostly like sour grapes to me.
Hell, I don't think the guitar is played anymore in today's popular music... what's so damn special about that?

I know you'd love to.
Everybody knows you secretly desire to have your tone sound exactly like Tom Scholz.

Originally posted by Securb View PostI would absolutely love to join the fun. The only caveat is the clip has to be an original composition. You in?
- must be a video showing your playing and must show your entire signal chain (so people can't cheat or use samples)
- absolutely no Rockman gear allowed
- guitars only (so we can hear the tone)
- no cowboy chords!
- time allotment: 1 month to submit
- any forum member is allowed to participate
- judgment based on how close to the Rockman tone your submission is
I can post it up in Tips n Clips, if you are amenable to these terms.
Also, keep in mind this post when making your decision:

tone was done decades ago, it is somehow useless and irrelevant today.

Originally posted by Sirion View PostI can get people not liking it. There are plenty of guitar tones I don't care for; some are considered benchmarks, many are featured on records that have sold better than my favourites. What I don't get is that adults feel the need to barge in and act like a donkey about it.
They do the same thing here for EVH tone threads.
It's just sour grapes, forum-control-freaking and lack-of-attention jealousy.Last edited by LLL; 11-06-2017, 01:04 PM.

How about a tone challenge?
Your ZOOM MS 70CDR vs my attempt.
Annnnnnnnnd go!
I think "Hysteria" by Def Leppard is representative, especially the arpeggio in Def Leppard's "Gods of War".

Originally posted by Securb View PostSure, I will bang out a clip. Will you get a video maybe, maybe not. Will you get it in a month I doubt it, I have too much on my plate right now? This is something I would do on a slow weekend, cloning 20-year-old guitar tones is not my highest priority.
How much time do you need?
You mean "40 year old guitar tones"

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
You don't get it this is not important enough to "cheat". I just bought a house 90% of my gear is in storage until the move in next month. I am living in a hotel with the JC120, five stomps and a couple of Les Pauls until the move. Even then this would take back seat to working on actual music for my band, working on the house, spending time with my girlfriend. You know, things that matter. Will I bang out a clip at some point, probably?

If 90% of your gear is in storage and you have "things that matter" to take care of, why bother to insert yourself into the challenge? You obviously don't currently have the time to spare nor the gear available.
Just let us know when you're actually ready (at 100% gear/time capacity) and we'll do this.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
Is this gonna be played with Scholz as the backing track like in post #2, or a cappella?
