OVERDRIVE- COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS Rocker 83 ___NEW___ Boston-in-a-Box


COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS 
ROCKER 83  
$215.00 USD
Over the last year the classic 1983 Rockman X-100 has become a real 'thing'. 
Tom Scholz guitarist for Boston, composer, engineer and producer was also a qualified electronics engineer and inventor the first Amp-in-a Box.
It was his take on a modded Plexi Stack with a cocked wah. It was on hundreds of records and every studio had one. It only died when Grunge took over the scene 
with a much rougher tone in '89.
The layout is a simple volume, tone and gain and switch for edge or distortion. 

CONCLUSION
You love or you don't. Having played the original many times the '83' has 
nailed the basic sound but is a bit fatter, has twice the sustain and the harmonics and overtones are much better. In other words the real one 
is like a Chinese clone of the Columbo pedal, lol.
