Ballpark figure, how much would all of those EFX cost me.

Are you using a tube AMP?

Thanks!]]> Live Sound vanzant38 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/getting-that-boston-sound/#post-186490 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/getting-that-boston-sound/#post-186445 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 04:50:42 +0000

I was telling a friend of mine that when I play along with the CD I can get decent sounds atleast similar to most bands I play along with, mostly 38 Special. But when it comes to Boston I feel like I am not even playing with the same instrument as Tom Scholz. Tom and his Boston sound IMHO does not get any where near the recognition that he/it deserves.

Oh well maybe he will come out with a Boston stomp box. NOT LIKELY! But I can dream can't I.]]> Live Sound vanzant38 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/getting-that-boston-sound/#post-186208 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/getting-that-boston-sound/#post-179617 Sun, 28 May 2006 06:23:39 +0000 It's an awesome one-trick pony, and you might outgrow it.
You might want to look at some newer modeling amps -- most have a Boston patch, and plenty of others.

Also, Boston songs are quite complicated ... they have everything you could ask for --- awesome acoustic parts, heavy distorted rhythms, and searing leads. It can be a handful for a beginner ... then again, I couldn't think of a better band to start with!]]> Live Sound PRNDL https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/getting-that-boston-sound/#post-179617
