COLUMBO AUDIO ELECTRONICS
ROCKER 83
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.
