INSTALLING MY BOSS GT-10 PATCHES: Here is some information that will help you install my BOSS GT-10 patches into your BOSS GT-10. After you have purchased my BOSS GT-10 patches, I will email you a .zip file which will contain the patch/patches you have purchased. Each BOSS GT-10 patch you receive will come in 3-file formats (.gxg .mid. .syx) for your convenience; You will only use 1 of those files to import my BOSS GT-10 patch into your BOSS GT-10. When you import the BOSS GT-10 patch into your BOSS GT-10... all the settings (Compressor, Preamps A and B, EQ, FX1, FX2, Chorus, Reverb, Delay, ASSIGNS 1-8, CTRL-1/CTRL-2/EXP-1 pedal functions, etc.) will be sent into your BOSS GT-10 via that 1-patch file. Note: If you buy ALL of my BOSS GT-10 patches, in addition to sending you one .zip file containing all of my BOSS GT-10 patches, per your request I will make you a special .mid file that will contain ALL of my BOSS GT-10 patches so you can install ALL of my BOSS GT-10 patches into your BOSS GT-10 almost instantly (rather than one at a time)! BOSS GT-10 SETUP: For my BOSS GT-10 patches to sound their best make sure your BOSS GT-10 OUTPUT SELECT is set to Line/Phones. For the CTRL-1/CTRL-2/EXP-1 pedals to function as I have programmed them to, in your BOSS GT-10 click SYSTEM, go to CONTROL and press ENTER, then using the left/right arrow buttons make sure EXP1, CTL1, CTL2 PEDAL SETTINGS have the Prefernc: option set to PATCH. For my BOSS GT-10 patches to sound their best I strongly recommend you connect your BOSS GT-10 stereo (left and right) outputs (via high-quality instrument cable) to a pair of powered studio monitors (for highest audio quality; Note: I use Event 20/20bas studio monitors) or PA speakers (if you need to play loud) that support a full (and flat) 20Hz to 20kHz (or as close to that as possible) frequency response for home use; For LIVE performances I recommend connecting your BOSS GT-10 stereo (left and right) outputs (via high-quality instrument cable) into a PA-system mixing-board (panning the left-channel hard-left and the right-channel hard-right). Another option would be to connect the BOSS GT-10 stereo (left and right) outputs (via high-quality instrument cable) into a stereo-keyboard-amp (like the Traynor K4) that supports a full (and flat) 20Hz to 20,000Hz (or as close to that as possible) frequency response; Or two mono-keyboard-amps placing each amp approximately 10' apart for a full-stereo effect. If you own a high-quality home-stereo system that has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz (or close) you could connect your BOSS GT-10 to that as well. I DO NOT recommend connecting the BOSS GT-10 into a guitar-amp because every guitar-amp has its own unique sound (which would change the sound of my patches) and in-addition will most-likely only support a frequency response of about 200Hz to 5,000Hz (meaning you won't hear the 20Hz to 200Hz low-bass frequencies or the 5,000Hz to 20,000Hz high-treble frequencies that my BOSS GT-10 patches are producing). If you have any questions/concerns contact me (James Limborg) at jim@jameslimborg.com AC/DC PATCHES: For the AC/DC patches I have my volume at about 60% for rhythm parts and 100% for solo sections. Some of the patches have the control pedals assigned to effects (delay, reverb, pitch shifter, etc.), and on other patches the control pedals are off (or not assigned to anything). AEROSMITH PATCHES: For Walk This Way Rhythm patch the CTRL1 pedal adds a guitar to the right speaker, and the CTRL2 pedal puts the guitar in the center. Use the lead pickup (in dual-coil-mode) for the intro and verses, rhythm pickup (in dual-coil-mode) for the stereo bar chords, and both the rhythm and lead pickups (in dual-coil-mode) for the short-answer-chords in the chorus section. ALABAMA, LIONEL RICHIE PATCH: For Deep River Woman the CTRL-1 pedal changes from the intro/ending guitar sound to the left-speaker guitar sound. BOB SEGER PATCHES: For Her Strut 1 patch the CTRL1 turns the Reverb effect ON for use from the middle break-down section through the end of the song. For Her Strut 2 patch the CTRL1 pedal when held-down turns the Delay effect ON, the CTRL2 pedal will reverse the delays from left-to-right to right-to-left, and the EXP1 pedal in the UP position places the guitar in the center and in the DOWN position places the guitar in both left and right speakers for the high E with B-string parts. BOSTON PATCHES: For Foreplay/Long Time Rhythm patch the CTRL1 pedal when pushed will remove some bass frequencies (creating a more-treble guitar sound) for use after the intro (Foreplay) section. For Foreplay/Long Time Solo patch the CTRL1 pedal turns the delay on/off, CTRL2 pedal turns Chorus on/off, and when the EXP1 pedal is moved down it adds full reverb and sustaining delays. For Foreplay/Long Time Effects patch the CTRL1 pedal when pushed will add full sustain to the delay effect, and the EXP1 pedal when pushed downward will increase the speed of the delay effect. For Hitch A Ride Distortion2 the CTRL1 pedal will switch from mono-guitar to stereo-guitars with delay and reverb ON, and the CTRL2 pedal will turn off/on the Delay effect. For Peace Of Mind Lead patch the CTRL1 pedal switches from STEREO to MONO guitar mode, the EXP1 pedal in the UP position puts the guitar LEFT and in the DOWN position puts the guitar RIGHT, the CTRL2 pedal switches back to STEREO guitars. For Hyperspace Pedal Effect patch the CTRL1 pedal turns 3 effects (including reverb) off/on, and the CTRL2 pedal makes the delay last longer/shorter.

BRYAN ADAMS PATCH: For Summer Of '69 press the CTRL1 pedal for the ending guitar soloing. CHUCK BERRY PATCH: For Johnny B. Goode the CTRL-1 pedal changes to the dry (less-reverb) solo sound, the CTRL-2 pedal adds more-reverb for the middle-of-song solo-section. DEEP PURPLE PATCH: For Smoke On The Water the CTRL1 pedal adds another guitar to the right speaker, and the CTRL2 pedal puts the guitar in the center, changes the reverb settings, and lowers the pre-amp gain level. DEFTONE PATCHES: For John Lennon Jealous Guy patch the EXP1 pedal gradually changes from clean-electric (down) to crunch-distortion (up), and with the EXP1 pedal UP pressing the CTRL1 pedal switches to full-distortion, and the CTRL2 pedal switches from stereo (left and right) guitars to one guitar in the center channel only. GEORGE BENSON PATCH: For the Breezin' Album patch the CTRL-1 pedal turns a tremelo-effect on/off, the CTRL-2 pedals turns the reverb off/on. GUNS N ROSES PATCHES: For Night Train the CTRL1 pedal changes the left-guitar (Preamp-A) from full-distortion to a cleaner crunch-distortion sound, and the CTRL2 pedal switches from stereo guitars (left and right) to mono guitar (center channel only, Preamp-A). JOURNEY PATCH: For the Lights patch the CTRL-1 pedal turns the Chorus effect on/off (for the rhythm fill/melody-note parts and bridge-section of the song for a fuller sound), the CTRL-2 pedal changes to the solo sound, the EXP-1-Pedal-Switch turns the Delay effect on/off for the short high-E string-bend towards the beginning of the solo. METALLICA PATCHES: For Enter Sandman Rhythm patch the CTRL-1 pedal puts the guitar in the left-speaker, the CTRL-2 pedal puts the guitar in the right-speaker. MXR PHASE 90/FLANGER PATCHES: To make these patches I connected an Eddie Van Halen MXR Phase 90 and MXR Flanger pedal to the Ext. Loop Send/Return on the back of the BOSS GT-10. I was able to make the Phaser and Flanger effects inside the BOSS GT-10 sound identical. For the MXR Phase 90 patch: I made the CTRL1 footswitch function as the Script-switch and the EXP1 pedal function as the Speed knob. For the MXR Flanger patch: Listening to Van Halen songs I was able to find the one setting Eddie Van Halen used on his MXR Flanger effects pedal (Manual: 3.1 o'clock, Width: 1 o'clock, Speed: 10 o'clock, Regeneration: 1.5 o'clock). It's this setting that I duplicated in the BOSS GT-10. With these patches view the FX-1 (Phaser/Flanger) settings, write them down, and then apply them to any BOSS GT-10 patch you own for that authentic MXR Phase 90/Flanger sound. OZZY OSBOURNE PATCHES: For the Ozzy Osbourne Crazy Train Rhythm patch the CTRL 1 pedal turns on/off a stereo delay for the intro pick effect.

BOSS GT-10 YouTube Demo, BOSS GT-10 Patches By James Limborg |
Using the Creamware 64-band Spectrum Analyzer [shown above] that comes with the Creamware TripleDAT 2.53 music recording software, I am able to copy the frequencies of any guitar sound (as long as the guitar sound does not have any other instruments/sounds playing along with it). I first view the guitar sound that I am copying through the 64-band spectrum analyzer; I set the volume of the spectrum analyzer so the loudest notes peak a little in the red; Then I record myself playing the same guitar part; Using the Graphic/Parametric equalizers in the BOSS GT-10 (Guitar Effects Processor) I adjust the settings so my recorded guitar playing produces the same frequencies as the guitar sound I am copying. It's a very slow process (playing short sections of music over and over memorizing frequency locations, then adjusting the BOSS GT-10 graphic/parametric EQ's, and repeating this process until I have successfully made my guitar playing move the same frequencies as the guitar sound I am copying). It would be a much easier process if the BOSS GT-10 had a 64-band graphic equalizer (rather than just a 10-band graphic EQ) set to the same frequency bands as the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer. After I have successfully copied the frequencies of a guitar sound, I use my ear for adding all of the effects (compression, pitch shifter, phaser, flanger, reverb, delay, etc.). Unfortunately the Creamware TripleDAT 2.53 software which contains the 64-band spectrum analyzer is no longer available due to Creamware filing bankruptcy years ago. Creamware changed their company name to Sonic Core (Sonic-Core.net); and they no longer support that old software. I have tried all of the spectrum analyzers I could find on the internet and they were all useless. I hope someday a software engineer/company will make a 64-band spectrum analyzer that is near identical to the old Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer that I currently use [see how it works by clicking the link below], that works as both a plugin [for music recording software] and as stand-alone software [for those who don't have music recording software] in Windows 7/MAC. Most of the credit for my BOSS GT-10 patches goes to the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer; Without the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer, I would not be able to copy guitar sounds nearly as well. There are perhaps millions of songs in this world and it would be great to have other people making patches for guitar effects processors that sounded nearly identical to the original artists guitar sound; The first step is for everyone to have access to a 64-band spectrum analyzer; I have contacted some software engineers and they all say they don't have the funds to do so, the price would have to be so high no one would buy the product, and they mention that there are already a lot of spectrum analyzers available... but they don't understand that all of the spectrum analyzers available are literally useless; None of spectrum analyzers currently available display information like the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer does; View the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer in real-time in my BOSS GT-10 Patches Youtube video: |
BOSS GT-10 Review Comments, BOSS GT-10 Patches By James Limborg |
By Herman (Mifflinburg, PA) I had to use the GT-10 Librarian Version 1.00 software to import the patches one at a time into my BOSS GT-10. Mostly all I had to do was raise the volumes to match my other presets levels. Also, on some that were very quiet, I raised the compressor output. All in all, they were very close to EVH guitar recordings. Boston`s recordings had a scoop in the mids but I think your presets are about as close as you can get. I haven`t messed with the EQ at all yet, I`ll get to that later. Thanks for the hard work! I wish more guitarists would sell some of their great patch collections. By Larry (Denton, TX) James, Your BOSS GT-10 patches nail those Boston and Van Halen tones. I can't imagine how long it took you to tweak them in. The BOSS GT-10 is amazing, but dialing in a specific sound is an art in itself. Thanx for sharing them at a very reasonable cost. By Fred (Boston, MA) Quick turn around. Easy installation with the BOSS Librarian and the sounds are killer! By Mark Hi James, I've just loaded the Van Halen patches into my BOSS GT-10 and I've gotta say they are all incredible!! I have got pretty close to some VH sounds and thought they were pretty good, but now I probably won't bother using them anymore. That 64-band spectrum analyzer you are using must be a real clever bit of kit to workout the tones so accurately, and like you say, it's a shame the BOSS GT-10 doesn't come with a 64-band spectrum analyzer built in. To anyone out there trying to get the VH tone and perfect sound (even the delays & echoes are spot-on!) then treat your BOSS GT-10 to this audio gold! Anyway, must go and shred some more. Thanks James, Mark (UK) By John Hi Jim, I finally had a chance to tryout your BOSS GT-10 Boston Storm (Smokin' by Boston) patch with my Parker Fly Deluxe and BOSS GT-10 setup stereo through my front show system. Without any changes the patch tone sounded very close to your demo online. I set my Parker Fly Deluxe to the bridge pickup, dual humbuckers, guitar tone at 5. I adjusted the BOSS GT-10 equalizer on the bottom-end and level ever-so-slightly and I have to say it sounds real authentic. I compared your BOSS GT-10 Boston Storm patch to the original Boston Smokin' recording and 2 other band members agreed it sounds like the original tone/sound. The bite, sustain, harmonics are totally awesome. I have to say that when you have and feel a good sound, you get into your playing even more. Thanks for the patch, and I definitely will be purchasing all 40 of your BOSS GT-10 patches online. By Samuel (Brazil) Hi James, I have finally tested the Eddie Van Halen and Boston patches and I really like them a lot! I tried the patches with a Peavey Wolfgang and a modified Stratocaster with EMG pickups through the return input of a Fender Princeton 112 amp. The results were amazing! Tones are incredibly close to the original recordings. It's possible to see that you have carefully searched for the details in order to get the best effects, sustain, harmonics and feeling for each tone. I'd also like to comment about the buying experience. You really surprised me with your fast communication, promptly responding to all of my questions, and surprised me even more by sending the patches in less than 5 minutes after I paid for them via PayPal. Congratulations! You really have done excellent work! Thanks for sharing these great tones James. By Konrad Hey James, Thanks for the awesome patches! They sound great, and more importantly they sound much cleaner on the PA. It hardly made any difference in the tone from the samples even though I am using a Fender guitar. I was quite impressed with the smooth payments & the quick reply in sending me your BOSS GT-10 patches. Thanks Buddy, It's worth the Price! By Samuel (Brazil) Hi James, I bought the AC/DC patches and, the same way it happened when I tested the Eddie Van Halen and Boston patches, I really like them a lot! The results are amazing. All the patches sound pretty close to the original tones. For months I have tried to create an AC/DC Jailbreak patch and have never even gotten close to that sound. Your Jailbreak patch is the closest I have heard so far. As it happened during the buying of the Van Halen package, once again you have promptly answered all of my questions and sent me the patches in less than 5 minutes after I have paid for them via PayPal. Congratulations! Once again you have done excellent work! Thanks for sharing these great tones James. By Thomas (Germany) Buying process: Smooth, easy, super-fast delivery and all patches are in mid, gxg, and sysx format. I even got 2 extra patches for free. Sound: I go from the BOSS GT-10 directly into my PAs power mixer (using line/phones output setting in the BOSS GT-10). My main guitar is a Fender Strat with HSS pickups. I am using the humbucker with all the patches I bought. AC/DC patches: They sounded very authentic right away. I had to adjust the level a bit (increase preamp volume and compressor level) and reduced the preamp gain because I like my guitar volume knob to be at 100% all the time. For extra distortion I use a booster/OD, and for solos I use the solo function in the BOSS GT-10. Well done, I think the AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long patch is the most versatile and you can play many ACDC songs based on that one patch alone. Van Halen patches: I like high gain sounds, but this is Ultra high gain I would say. I reduced the gain and it sounded really great! Boston Storm: I was disappointed when I tried it first, but then I found the trick. Rather than raising the compression level and preamp volume to adjust overall volume, I raised the volume of my PA and that was it... well done! I also found the Boston Double Lead patch very useful... I turned off the pitch-shifter effect and the base sound was close to Boston's song titled Smokin'. I also reduced the reverb effect a bit, but this is because my rehearsal room is small and creates its own reverb. Overall: A lot of value for the money. You have to undertake the effort to tweak the patches a little bit to your equipment, but that is far less work than trying to create these patches all on your own. I had tried to create my own Boston patch some time ago, and compared to James Limborg's BOSTON patch, mine is just crap. Thanks James! Best Regards from Germany, Thomas. By Chris (Providence, RI) My gig is easier because let's face it, Who has the time to do what you've done, just for a fifty dollar gig? But here you are, and it's a smart thing to do, you looked at it and 'knew' that it can take 14 hours of solid time, effort, and frustration to create 'one' sound! This time is worth the money if a person really 'wants' the sounds and maybe even tried to dial them in but failed and then, having spent $500 bucks on this GT-10, he/she throws it in his/her closet and forgets about it. Your time is worth my money! People should see that, not to mention hear it! Even if some people don't agree that it's 'thee' perfect sound; You've dialed it in 'way' closer already and the little effort involved after getting your patch is 'so' much less, it's actually a relief and a pleasure to work with the GT-10 NOW! But your patches are perfect to me and I appreciate all of your time and effort as I was able to pull my BOSS GT-10 out of the closet and now it's Brand New to me again, Because of You! Thank You Again (And Again, Echo, Echo Echo......) Thanx again, Chris. By Chris (Providence, RI) I was desperately looking on Youtube for someone to explain to me just 'how' to dial this monster (BOSS GT-10) in so I can use my ears to duplicate a bunch of guitar sounds, but all I found was a bunch of videos showing me what the BOSS GT-10 is capable of, not how to do it. The BOSS GT-10 manual, like every manual, is just too in depth, very confusing and complicated; More time wasted when you could be playing or creating. So I started typing into Google things like, 'How To Create A Sound On A GT-10' and I happened to see some website 'claiming' that he had created some patches on his BOSS GT-10 and that I could listen to them... This was You. Ever since stumbling across your website, I've been like a little kid, and I knew that these sounds were amazingly close if not perfect, and I had watched 'every' single video on the internet, heard and saw this BOSS GT-10 creature and what it was able to produce, but 'your' sounds were not only accessible through a download, but inexpensive and freakin' perfect! I stopped my searching right then and there and started learning how to download your files. This was time and money 'well' spent! I think of your patches as an extension to my BOSS GT-10; Another capability with a huge advantage... That being that you spent all of those hours doing what I couldn't seem to do. Sure, I 'thought' I could do it myself, and my ego thought I could figure it all out, but hearing is believing and to find out that your technique of dialing in the sounds using a 64-band spectrum analyzer (which is no longer available) is 90% exclusive to you (and only you), and it can take over 14 hours to create a single patch... There's no question that I will be back for more every time you create another one. You should teach Roland how to 'really' come up with patches that the people 'can actually use'... Lets face it, a lot of the patches that come with the BOSS GT-10 are cool, but kind of useless for most situations, and Roland is just trying to please the masses which is impossible. But Your knowledge is a tool that a company like ROLAND/BOSS can use, if they're smart. I have 'never' heard tones/patches/sounds duplicated so closely and accurately as yours are. Even though 10 different people can have 10 different opinions, I'd say that 10 of those people will have to say that you've got something here. Good Luck, Thank You for saving my BOSS GT-10 ($500.00), Chris. By Marcos (SP, Brazil), Coexist (U2 Tribute Band) Portuguese: Eu comprei um efeito para 'U2, Where The Streets Have No Name' neste site, e foi muito facil para mim regular minha BOSS GT-10. Você pode ouvir o efeito primeiro no site e eu estava com um problemão com minha GT-10, porque eu não estava conseguindo regular o pedal para minha banda de Tributo ao U2 aqui no Brasil, porém, este efeito criado por James Limborg salvou minha vida! Eu recomendo a todos este site. Eu paguei pelo sistema Paypal e o James me contatou minutos depois me enviando o efeito para ser instalado na pedaleira. É completamente confiável. Eu encontrei meu site para BOSS GT-10!!! Está aprovado!!!! English: I bought one patch of 'U2, Where The Streets Have No Name' on this website, and it was very easy for me to set my BOSS GT-10. You can hear the effect before and I was with a big problem with my GT-10 because I wasn't being able to set my pedal for my band U2 here in Brazil, but this patch saved my life!!! I recommend to everyone this website, I paid from paypal system, and James Limborg emailed me a few minutes after. It is completely confiable. I found out my website for BOSS GT-10!!! It is approved!!! By Larry (Denton, TX) Ordered the Def Leppard BOSS GT-10 patch. Excellent patch... Incredible tonal accuracy and one I've just not been able to get until now thanks to James Limborg. Ordered at his site, paid through paypal, and received the patch via email fast (within hours). I'm a repeat customer and will be back. I make very minor tweaks to James Limborg's patches (typically gain as my guitar has a pretty hot bridge pickup). Haven't downloaded a tone I didn't absolutely like. My BOSS GT-10 is becoming a digital library of the best guitar tones rock artists have ever produced. By Anwar (Malaysia) AWESOME PATCHES! These are perfect tones. The Van Halen patches are actually those 'brown tones' I was looking for! Purchase/receiving/installing/using these BOSS GT-10 patches were such a breeze. I used PayPal which was instant, and I got the patches within 6 hours (the fact the I live on the other side of the planet where James is). Installed them instantly on my BOSS GT-10 via USB and WITHOUT TWEAKING the patches sounded perfect with my MusicMan + Senheise headphones. Now I can't wait to hit the road and watch my guitargeek friends drool on the tones. I did not have to tweak anything on my BOSS GT-10, the gains/volume are perfect, I did an A-B test to compare the tones with the original sound, and based on my amateur listening skills, I can say this is the closest I get to Van Halen's sound. I also bought James Limborg's GUITARS 2012 patch which was simply... AWESOME. Check them out guys! I have been playing guitar for 15 years. The patches are a Godsend, Thank you! Jamming tonight with 'my' new sounds. By Ruben (Katy, TX) James Limborg, Dude, just found your YouTube vids on a search for BOSS GT-10 sounds. And, from what I've heard, your patches are freaking killer. I think your 64-band spectrum analyzer use is genius thinking. It never occurred to me to use it for EQ tweaking. You really put a hammer on Line 6 and other vendors. I have used Line 6 gear, but right now I've been using an ME25 from BOSS, but I'm upgrading to the BOSS GT-10. I have a JC120 amp and it sounds great. My question to you is... Have you ever created a patch for U2's song titled Pride? If you have, great cause I will buy it, or if you have a collection of U2 patches I'll definitely snag those too! Thanks, and definitely keep this up -- you may have just caused a major paradigm shift in multi effect manufacturing. If you could get a programmer to take what you do with your analyzing techniques and interface it with the BOSS GT-10 and have the program adjust the EQ automatically and then give the option to save: in a word WOW - you would be a millionaire overnight. Thanks. By Kurt (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) Thanks James for the timely service for sending my patches within a couple of hours. I'm very pleased with the quality of the patches, they are excellent and mainly just had to adjust the output (volume) of the patches to match the output of my other patches. I look forward to getting more patches as you develop them. Thanks again for the great patches, I'm very pleased with them. By Ruben (Katy, TX) Hi Jim, You are a gracious fellow, and I wanted to further comment on your site and what I heard from your Def Leppard patch. First, I've been a musician a long time and have always struggled with really trying to zero in on making a multi-effect unit get the sound I hear in my head. For us players, no vendor makes a patch that is useful: doesn't exist and they are not motivated to do it. Too much fear of copyright infringement, but wait a minute copyright does not include using an analyzer to zero in on EQ frequencies only plagiarizing someone else's work which Joe Satriani proved against Cold Play and won the case. Well, my friend you have just become Bill Gates or Steve Jobs depending on who you choose, because each of them took technology and reshaped everything for years to come. What you have done is exactly what they did! Your idea will be met with people and investors who will want to take it to another level. Some might say that analyzing songs is not original, but I disagree because in computer programming often we program in reverse as the application starts to work we build more functionality into it, so this approach aids teaching players the relationship of sound, EQ, and what goes into developing your sound; yet, no multi-effect manufacturer cares about that with their customers. Without question the BOSS GT-10 is the big kahuna in the room, and line 6 and everyone else doesn't get close, because you have proved it. Another note, some people seem to not favor your ingenuity for selling patches again I disagree. Clearly, these chaps are miffed, because they didn't think of it. I think your cleverness and savvy really shows why you have the panache to do what we players have long wanted. You are entitled to be an entrepreneur. Now, the Def Leppard patch -- in a word superb! As for me, U2s song Pride (In the name of love) has always been a struggle due to Edge's sound on that song having overdrive along with the delays which I clocked at 418ms. This song would be a god send when you have time to develop it, and I will pay you for it! You may officially use my comments on your site at your leisure. I for one am grateful that I stumbled onto your YouTube vids, and for the work you are doing. At some point, multi-effect manufacturers will see that your work is a whole new market, and will want to capitalize on it. But, you got there first and staked a claim; for that we players are gonna remember you! By Ruben (Katy, TX) Jim, I would offer to you that you really own this concept of what you're offering to players. Make a company, own the technology or process your using to make your patches. It's a total god send! If a major company wants to partner with you and take it worldwide - negotiate a reasonable deal and run with it and be on their board to maintain they don't water down the product! Dude, it's totally killer! You would think that other companies would have done this! But, then again we need visionaries that think out of the so called box!!! I realize that purists might disagree, but just about every artist has had someone produce their sound. Mutt Lange did it with Def Leppard, George Martin with the Beatles, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois with U2 etc. These chaps helped make the original formula, and now you can give players like me an opportunity to use these patches in our live gigs. I mean it's not that these original artists are playing all the time at every venue, but we can give our fans something special. No question about it, you're about to become the biggest threat to their business model since cassette tapes lost out to CDs and they never saw it coming. Bravo Sir! By Brian (Long Island, New York) Hi James, I just wanted to let you know that the Steve Vai 'Tender Surrender' patch was incredible. I have had the BOSS GT-10 for almost a year now and your patches have taken it to another level. I love the BOSS GT-10 now more than ever because of your patches. I couldn't believe how quick the turnaround time was and how easy it was to get into my BOSS GT-10 using my Library. I look forward to purchasing more patches in the future and I have already started to pass along your site to my friends who have the BOSS GT-10. Thanks again. Excellent Job. By Luis (Boston, MA) James, This Guns -N- Roses Night Train CUSTOM PATCH you made me sounds outstanding. I did not have to do anything to the patch to work for my system since I actually use the LINE/PHONES Left and Right out to a PA so my setup should work perfectly. At any rate, I installed the patch and it sounds fantastic. I installed into two banks as you recommended so that I can play around with the tone (and add in delay for Welcome to the Jungle intro for example). In all, you have been outstanding to work with. I honestly expected to get the patch after a week or so, but you provided it that very night. The whole process was seamless and very engaging. After submitting the payment via PayPal for the Custom Patch order, I e-mailed you the MP3 sample as instructed on your website. Most would probably have just created the patch and been done with it, not so here. You asked for feedback and also provided other sample files from the studio recordings. Using a combination of both the studio recordings and the one I provided, you created a tone that encompasses a combination of both, simply outstanding, and more than I expected. I would not hesitate for a minute to purchase another Custom Patch and will probably do so in the future, however you already have some outstanding patches on your site and I will be purchasing a few of those as well. Thanks again, and will talk again soon ? By Guy (Tunbridge Wells, Kent, UK) Right out of the gates I'd like to say that this Def Leppard Distortion patch is an absolute gem. It's perfect for playing tracks from the Hysteria and Adrenalize albums; I'm guessing that this patch was designed using the sound waves from something like Pour Some Sugar. The sound obviously changes depending on the pickups that you're using but the cool thing is that you can 'retro' the patch easily to simulate the earlier guitar sounds of Def Leppard by adjusting the chorus effect to under 20 and the pre-delay (on the chorus) to around 5 or 6. When you use the CTRL1 and CTRL2 switches, you get some great variations by lowering the high cut level from flat to mid-way and by changing the reverb to plate setting. However, when all is said and done, James Limborg's Def Leppard BOSS GT-10 patch sounds incredible as it is. I've spent years trying to modify a patch that I found on the BOSS website because it didn't quite do it for me. In summary this patch is totally 'there' and provides a great platform for easy modifications to get the subtle differences that you'll hear on all of the albums. Great work James. By AJ (Pensacola, FL) These patches are incredible! It put new life into my BOSS GT-10. For 27 years of playing as an amateur guitarist I have searched for the perfect tone and never thought I'd achieve it, until I used James Limborg's patches for the BOSS GT-10. I didn't have to tweak the settings at all and 'right out of the box' I was instantly sounding like Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoades! Even at low volume it sounds like I'm playing a Marshall stack on 10! James Limborg's instructions made the install simple and his support was fantastic. I would definitely follow his professional advice. Like James Limborg recommended, I purchased a set of used powered 20-Watt studio-monitors for $150 and plugged the BOSS GT-10 directly into them, wow, what an incredible difference that made versus running it through my Marshall amps. Now my garage sounds like a live concert arena! My buddies can't believe it sounds so good, nor can I. Absolutely superb! Thanks Jim! By Doug (Billings, Montana) My experience with James Limborg and his BOSS GT-10 patches have been nothing but amazing! I found his BOSS GT-10 patches webpage while searching for tones that I could use to find my sound. I was leery about purchasing a tone from the internet, but decided to take the chance and go for it. The payment process was painless and in less than a few-hours the BOSS GT-10 patches appeared in my email. The instructions worked perfectly and before I knew it I had all 10 BOSS GT-10 patches loaded up. I hooked up and to my amazement my BOSS GT-10 actually sounded fantastic! Each patches tone sounded perfect and matched the sound on the recording. It was so much fun that I played my Gibson Les Paul for 6 hours straight; I could not put it down. With a minor amount of tweaking I now have my tone installed in the BOSS GT-10. I will in the future purchase all of James Limborg's BOSS GT-10 patches. My BOSS GT-10 is now my main pedal on the floor. The real test was during the first-gig using James Limborg's BOSS GT-10 patches. People asked me if I had been taking guitar lessons as my playing was much better. My fellow guitarists were amazed and are going to purchase a BOSS GT-10 just to buy these BOSS GT-10 patches by James Limborg. Thanks James for doing what no one else has been able to. By Mark (Oakhurst, CA) Wow! Very nice. I can tell the work you put into these patches. The speed of delivery was excellent, some issues with 'my' e-mail but everything came out nicely. James Limborg offered plenty of correspondence to solve any issues. Was unsure about how to properly install these into my BOSS GT-10 unit at first and through e-mails and website recommendations I was able to pull it off. I did have to download a driver for windows 7 64-bit so my computer would recognize the .GXG format. I play a slash signature Gibson Les Paul (that I installed slash signature pick-ups into) into my BOSS GT-10. I had to adjust the volume level on the Guns N Roses Night Train patch to match the volume level of my other patches, the lead sound is very expressive and distinct, definitely as close as you can get without having a Over-driven marshall stack in front of you. I also purchased the Acoustic Guitar 3 patch that sounds rich and dynamic with just the right amount of effects. I plugged a middle of the road Breedlove acoustic-electric guitar in and played for a few hours. You DO need an acoustic guitar to get the desired effect from the acoustic patches. I've been playing guitar for 21 years, I gig professionally and play weekly at my church. By Lucien (Orlando, Florida) Hey James, Ha! I've been playing Eruption note for note for years, but it's never quite sounded just like Eddie until I bought your GT-10 patch :-) Wow! What a great job you've done creating these! All 10 of the patches I purchased from you sound incredible!!! Keep up the great work and I'll definitely be back for more. By Landis (Queensland, Australia) I purchased 27 Van Halen BOSS GT-10 patches from James Limborg and I am extremely happy with them all. The response time from James Limborg was lightning fast; As soon as I had chosen my patches and paid for them I received an email from James Limborg attaching my patches; I am talking maybe 5 minutes before James had responded. James also took the time to guide me through the installation process as well and sent me the necessary instructions. Every email I sent asking a question was answered immediately - this is despite the fact that I live in Australia and James in the States and there is roughly a 14 hour time difference (meaning it was the middle of the night for James and he still helped me out). I initially bought 11-patches but to his credit, James Limborg pointed out that I could get 20-patches if I wanted to get each patch at an even-lower price. I appreciate that level of integrity and honesty - James Limborg could easily have sold me the 11-patches and been done, but he did the right thing and I respect that. I ordered a mix of Sammy Hagar era and David Lee Roth era tones - roughly an equal number of each - and whether you are an "old school" DLR era fan or a Van Hagar fan you will not be disappointed - James Limborg nails the lot - clean / dirty and everything in-between. Having now tested out the patches I bought, I am amazed how well James Limborg has replicated Eddie Van Halen's tone on the BOSS GT-10; I have been trying to get something close to Ed's tone for ages. I have bought Eddie's signature MXR pedals and his JD Wah-Wah pedal over the years, plus quite a few other bits and pieces chasing his tone; I had a passable brown-sound but in all honesty James Limborg's BOSS GT-10 patches blow my tone out of the water. In fact, I was very close to chucking my BOSS GT-10 out of my signal chain and possibly investing big bucks in a good 2nd hand 5150 Amp or a Peavey 6505 (or whatever the 5150 Amp is called these days) - talk about a last minute reprieve for my BOSS GT10! Now that I have access to a seemingly endless variety of patches from James Limborg, my BOSS GT-10 and I will be enjoying many more happy years together. I know a few guitar players who look down their noses at digital effects and refuse to believe you can get the "brown sound" with them - I think James Limborg has proved them wrong. I would defy anybody in a blind taste test to pick James Limborg's tones from the real thing - maybe Eddie Van Halen could, but I doubt many others could. I own a heap of EVH guitars - Peavey Wolfgang 1st years & special deluxe', Peavey custom shops, Charvel EVH Art Series and EBMM EVH Axis guitars and these patches are the perfect complement to my collection. At present I am running my guitar straight into my BOSS GT-10, then from the left/right output on the BOSS GT-10 to a Boss Micro BR, then into a set of good quality Sennheiser headphones (as I mainly practice at night), and the patches sound bang on perfect - if only my playing did. If you are serious about getting Eddie Van Halen's tone down - and let's face it, who isn't - then look no further. All the hard work is done by James Limborg. Thanks very much for all your help James and your great service! I will be a repeat customer for sure. By Rodrigo (Campinas/SP, Brazil) Buying Joe Satriani's Always With Me Always With You Distortion BOSS GT-10 patch from James Limborg's website was pretty straight forward; Minutes after I confirmed my PayPal payment I received a very detailed e-mail from James Limborg with the BOSS GT-10 patch and lots of explanation on how to install it; And some other tips on how to make it sound really great! Installing the BOSS GT-10 patch was as easy as buying it from James Limborg's website. I was really amazed by how this BOSS GT-10 patch sounded with my guitar. I had already liked it on James Limborg's website, but hearing the audio sample through low-quality computer speakers isn't nearly as close to the sound you get with the guitar connected to some high-quality speakers. The sound was perfect through my Ibanez JS-100; Just like the real Joe Satriani album 'Surfing With The Alien'. James Limborg did a really great, professional job making this Joe Satriani BOSS GT-10 patch; Worth every penny spent! Congratulations! |
