Well, it IS NAMM time, which means that we get stuff like this. I love Boston songs, and I especially love THAT guitar sound. The Tom Scholz sound is as distinctive as the EVH sound, the Brian May sound, the David Gilmour sound, and others. As best I can tell, with this new pedal, you can get that legendary sound in a foot pedal, which seems to be designed to run direct to board / PA. The chorus is set to mono mode by default, but a switch inside can turn it to stereo.

Even without headphones, the stereo imaging of the chorus effects sounds great.

I still have one of the original rack units! And it still sounds really good!

Right? They were all analog with lots of filters and well-designed. Were they engineered by Scholz himself? I can't remember. They seem to have been used by a ton of people for recording during the 80s.

I think they weere engineered by Scholz because I've seen him use these exact units...
