TBH, that Boston guitar tone sounds like a 5w amp…on its own. It sits great in the mix tho.

I agree. The "boxy" discussion literally could've just been about the Boston tone, especially after the first record.

The first record is cool, but it immediately became a cartoon version of itself on the follow-ups.
 
I had 4 of those half rack units that Tom designed. I ran them into my fender super 60. I gigged with that setup for over a year at least if memory serves correctly…wish I had some recordings of it.
 
The Rockman stuff is way cool. The main preamp types (the Sustainor and the Distortion Generator) might not be everyone´s cup of tea, but the auxiliary units are great... especially the chorus, the EQ and the compressor could go right into any rig you care to mention.
 
I lost count in the late 80's and 90's of how many amps blew up using the Scholz Power Soak attenuators...........:dunno: Maybe it was shit tubes or people using them wrong but I wouldn't feel confident plugging into one in 2025.......:no:

I know Scholz went to MIT so he should have been able to build something reliable but still real world evidence says otherwise.........................:no:

I've been running my THD's Rivera's for years with no issues.

I blew up a Carvin x100 head with one in the early 90s
