Good question kat, and a really fun one! I think some of our friends nailed that tone right away as the Boston sound, I agree, though it's fantastic that the Huey Lewis' guitarist got back to you with the real facts. 8)
Sticking with the premise that this is is Boston and Rockman sound, I so fully agree, and yes, long live the 80's! :lol: Uhhhh.... and the 70's, as in Boston and Tom Scholz, guitarist, innovator and engineer from M.I.T.
I got really far into the Rockman links and looked up the company, and read it till way past bedtime. But I wasn't about to answer or make a post yet. Easiest thing to do would be to buy the vintage gear?
But I was fairly sure that this sound is on the Zoom G1 and presumably on the new G2; I have a G1 put away in storage and recall hearing the patch, preset, whatever - it seemed right to me.
So I've googled that and came up with another forum, except it was in Spanish, but agreed, and basically, get your G1 and go to C7 per this quote (not all quotes and things people say are true, but this could be right on).
"29. Authentic Rockman Sound: C7 Od 26 7 20 C3 H6 24
A pretty good Rockman sound. Use the neck pickup with the tone control all the way down."
And I agree you can use a Strat on the neck pickup, I would put the tone all the way down however. Yes, there's more.... per http://www.taringa.net/posts/info/827552/Patch-para-pedalera-Zoom.html
Comp: OFF

I both appreciate and marvel at the positive direction and posts in this thread, as soon as somebody said "Rockman". It was great fun looking up all of this and reading tech info http://www.rockman.fr/ :D
And if you have all the pedals or effects separately, you could tweak it all and get a similar result, the hard way. :shock:
