Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I post plenty of clips on the forum. I have given up the goods. As someone pointed out once you have even "liked" my clips.
I have actual "work" to finish when I am done I might post it, I may not. This is actually something new to my musical resume and believe it or not it is a cover.
A I-IV-V it figures, I said that as a joke. Thanks for answering my question, you are what I thought you are. Unable to string together 3 chords of your own design. You lack originality and that is ok if you are happy doing what you are doing in your bedroom. Can we get the two-chord vamp now? Hint: All you have to do is take the V off the I-IV-V. There I got you going now go!

The Rockman gear stated to be mass produced in 1982. It was very early out of the gate and was a real leader in that respect. As for the sound, the heavy use of compression and the signature mid-range EQ makes for a really distinctive sound. I'm not the best one to say, but it's said that it takes some effort to tame the "Boston/Rockman" sound that they produce. The SR&D headphone amp effects also added chorus and echo to the sound, so that is a key feature of the "Rockman" sound that people think about. Maybe some others can jump in and talk more about the EQ.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
Another habit of the Rockman crowd is the heavy use of both pre and post distortion EQ. That allows the guitar player to setup the overdrive levels frequency by frequency to suit their tastes using the pre distortion EQ. Then the post distortion EQ is used to fine tune the overall sound. The Sustainor facilitates this by providing a pre-distortion effects loop. You just add an EQ downstream of the Sustainor for the post distortion EQ.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
The point of Rockman wasn’t to sound different. At the time it was one of the earliest attempts to put a completely produced Marshall sound in a small box that didn’t break your back or budget.
At the time the Rockman came out, one of the great innovations was the Sony Walkman, where you could take all your music with you and listen on lightweight headphones anywhere you wanted to go. The Rockman was the instrument amp version of a Walkman.
But now, literally thousands of SS gear can get in that same sound territory. Rockman was just was one of the first. Rockman does have its own recognizable signature to the sound because Scholz biased the sound to the midrangy, cocked-wah type of tone he felt mixed better with a full band, but lots of gear can make that sound.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I know you have posted clips. You need to join us on our SD soloing collaboration and regale us with your "originality".
LOL - I've heard your "originals".
The amount of intellectual dishonesty and obfuscation coming from you is incredible.
You always talk a big game and hide behind your "But I'm original!!!" like it's some viable excuse... but your clips (and/or lack thereof) tell the truth.
Hey, when you're doing your "Open Mic Night" at some Cappuccino place with your "originals"... do you proudly squawk to everyone there over the mic about how the chord progression you're playing is solely your own and nobody else has ever played before? You should trademark that ****. :lol:
Here's a tip: Practice, practice practice. Because being "original" (or "original" in your own mind) doesn't add up to a hill of beans if it sounds like crap.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
This concept works great with a lot of different rigs as well.
Typically, the pre EQ is set to a "frown face" midrange hump so the guitar can sing (the guitar is a midrange instrument)... then post EQ, it is shaped further with a "smilie face" scooped mids type of setting.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I think another part of the magic was the combination of factors. The EQ was part of it, but also the use of compression together with chorus and echo. Someone recently put together a Kemper profile for the Rockman and they pointed out that that was one of the challenges. It wasn't just an EQ profile. The combination of EQ and effects was needed to complete the recipe.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
The amount of dishonesty coming from you is amazing. You do nothing but bash this forum and insult the members but you can't get enough of this place. Why don't you say the things you say on GuitarAmped.com here? You accuse the SDUGF mods of being racist (LINK). A mod that is in interracial marriage by the way. You spew hatred and homophobia on your forum (LINK). And you hide behind the name "Sparky The Hamster" when you are not man enough to post under your own name (LINK). My Problem with you LLL is you are a horrible human being and not even man enough to take ownership of your own words. You can think my originals are crap I don't really care. I am just happy that I could bring joy to the people that enjoyed them. So why don't you and Sparky crawl into that little hole you call GuitarAmped.com and go away if this place is so "freaking bad". I swear you sound like a butthurt middle school girl during your GuitarAmped.com rants.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
Project much? A mirror would do wonders for ya. :lol:
You made an actual YouTube vid on me (with wrong spelling, paranoia-induced info & pic, btw). Obsessed much? :naughty:
Your TMRZoo.com forum has a thread dedicated to me (making fun of my playing and tone cloning; as if)... :lol:
http://www.tmrzoo.com/boards/Thread-LLL-I-have-a-question-for-ya
And some TMRZoo quotes from a thread from 2015 about the SD Forum (which has been scrubbed now):
In fact, here's what Evan Skopp said about you and your TMRZoo forum;
You & TMRZoo are the original Gs of SD-bashing. :13:
The fact is, nobody here cares what goes on outside. And for the record, I don't bash the forum, only certain you-know-whatsits.
Anyhoo, let's stay on topic, shall we? Stop moving the goalposts and stay focused!
We're looking forward to your... original entry at the next SD collaboration... and your rendition of Boston tone here (of course).
...but I'm not holding my breath in hopes you'll actually contribute, because I know you far too well... lots of posturing with nothing
to back it up; even the stuff you do contribute from time to time doesn't back it up. Music resume, my arse! :yeah:
Now, you just go on ahead and have a nice day! :bigthumb:

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I have two things to say:
1. I realize there is a lot going on that I was unaware of (otherwise I wouldn't have brought the topic of the showdown back up), but could you please take this elsewhere? This thread is sort of my baby now, and I'd hate to see it closed!
2. Mods, could you please leave this open for now? I've said my piece, and hopefully we can return to relative peace and quiet here.

I'm done; I've played my cards.
So, how about that Rockman tone?

Yes, there is because as I said you are a homophobic, racist, worthless example of a human being. Your posts on your own site are more than proof of that. Do you deny this? Will you own your own words like a man? Or continue to act like the middle school girl you are?

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
After all you have posted, I'm at a loss as to why you haven't been banned. You seem to go out of your way to cause problems, but that's just the SJW shining-through.
You need to take your Social Justice Warrior BS elsewhere. Isn't there like a SJW musicians forum you hook-up with? Wait, there is! It's called Harmony Central.
