The latest examples have convinced me my first thought was correct.

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
I'm guessing, but if that part doesn't have any effects I'll speculate that it might be his Sustainor on CLN or CLN2. The X100 effects can't be turned off so you might hear chorus or echo out of his X100. The Distortion Generator doesn't do clean, unless you use the auto-clean. I don't have any idea what he did in Logic to post-process the Rockman gear.

I hadn't expected this thread to carry on into 2019, to put it mildly!

Re: Rockman Tone in 2017
HAPPY 2019, ROCKMAN THREAD! I actually just found this thread looking for Boston/Scholz/Rockman patches for my Line6 Helix. I read through THE WHOLE THING! I found a pretty good patch, and I may one day tweak it or rebuild one after digging out my Sustainor (I have a 200 here somewhere. No, it isn't for sale ;-) ).
I love the first 2 Boston albums. I like 3rd stage (saw them in '86 on that tour) and a few tunes on Walk On and Corporate America. It's one of my fave guitar sounds, mostly because of the harmonies and layering - I also love Queen and several Judas Priest albums. For anyone liking British Steel thru Defenders, check out the new Firepower. IMO it's the best Priest album since Defenders.
If I remember right, you can plug straight into the effect return of a sustainor and bypass the compressor altogether. Use whatever compression/OD pedals you like. Then you get the distortion and cab sim without the heavy compressor.
Happy 2019!

No he sold out to them...question is, did they keep it as is or screw it up

Well, this is what has been written on the matter previously. I don't know where 67Mopar has his information from, but he is far more knowledgeable about Rockman stuff than I am, so there you have it.

Rockman Tone in 2017
I think this unit was more of a headphone/bedroom type amp.
The actual Rockman units used by the pros were proper rackmount units.
I think you can use the above unit as a direct in to an amp as well, but it think this was something aimed at a different target consumer.
However, I’ve never used this unit ( I do remember the magazine ads in the 80’s for it) and somebody else that knows more can correct me if I’m wrong about it.
Looks like they haven’t updated the headphones since the 80’s either. Lmao.

I'm surprised by how many who seems to have gone for the headphone amp rather than for the Rockmodules. To be fair, it was out earlier, but by 1986 the basic Rockmodules should be easy to get, yet people like George Lynch seem to have preferred the handheld version.
