Boston is touring with a nice collection of Rockman Rockmodules. Great sounding stuff!

It was actually before Tom Scholz sold the Rockman line to Dunlop. The Guitar and Bass Ace were first released in 1990. The Metal Ace was released in 1994. The focus was having a more cost effective product. It's very different from the X100, Soloist, Ultralight and original Rockman. It's still...

I put together a short feature demo of the Rockman Guitar Ace, a headphone amplifier: xdHAF60Mad8 The Guitar Ace is a practice amp, so it's not nearly as impressive as the Rockmodules, though I think it is a convenient little amp for spur of the moment playing.

I found a video from Boston's current tour. Lots of Rockman gear ;) ZbmYTCUqPw0

Ah yes, demand is up. Anyone have a Rockmodule or other Rockman gadget collecting dust in your pile of gear? It might be time to add it to the supply ;)

Tom Scholz shows off his Hyperspace pedal in the Sound Machine video. I was really happy to see that. I don't have one of those.

There are some pretty crazy asking prices. The Pro Bass Rockman and PGE 2 equalizer (Rockman Studio Series) are particularly rare. The Rockman Stereo Echo is another that has become rather prized. Hey, on another subject, if you want to see Rockman gear in action, Boston is on tour right now...

I have a Rockman Stereo Chorus. It's a very nice unit. The sweep-stop control pedal turns off the chorus sweep, leaving you with a short delay, giving you a doubling effect. It's either 20 or 40 milliseconds, depending on normal or long chorus mode. I like that. $150 sounds about right to me...

The previous Rockman Chorus / Delay demo I did was in stereo. If you use the Chorus / Delay in the effects loop of a conventional guitar amp, you might be more likely to use it in mono mode. I put together a demo of this and put it up on YouTube. Let me know if you have any comments or...

I like "Wide" myself, especially with the chorus. The normal and equal sound too "swishy" to my ear. Subtle is not quite as swishy sounding.

Boston is out on the road right now. Their web sites says they are playing Houston tonight. Tom Scholz's performance with his gear may be a lot more interesting than mine ;)

I put together a little demo of my Rockman Chorus / Delay. If you are into analog guitar gear, you might like it. Best, --Bruce GHYSMI00IEE

Have you checked out the new "Life, Love & Hope" album? The tour starts this Thursday in Hollywood Florida.

I just picked up one of the Distortion Generators a few months ago. It's simpler than the Sustainor, but the distortion sound is more flexible. They are still awesome ;)

I had kind of forgotten about this. Here's another guitar player that made his own version of the Hyperspace pedal: PsI2I5UIZ8k He used an Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man, instead of an Echoplex.

Some kind of roller assembly, to help keep the strings in tune?

Tom Scholz first instrument was piano. My understanding, is that he is as detail oriented about keyboard, as he is on Guitar.

Even if you aren't into the Rockman gear, you might get a kick out of the kinds of sounds he was making with his "Hyperspace pedal": NYXgfzVjrTw

The master shows off his gear. Tom Scholz plus Rockman equals, well Awesome! NYXgfzVjrTw

Here's a longer video that goes over a SR&D Rockman rig made up of Rockmodules, along with the sounds you can get with it: y9iOpqw1MII
