CUSTOM MADE BOSS GT-10 PATCHES For $40.00 I will spend hours creating a custom patch just for you. It takes me 4 to 15 hours to create one patch. After I check my emails and see your PayPal payment, I will immediately start creating your patch. NOTE: You will need to supply me with a mp3/wav file of the guitar sound you want me to copy. You can email the mp3 or wav file to jim@jameslimborg.com I can copy a guitar sound best using my 64-band spectrum analyzer, but this requires that the guitar part is playing all by itself some place in the music. If the guitar sound you want me to copy always has music/vocals playing along with it, I will have to use my ears to try and copy the sound. Thanks for your purchase.

These patches were made to sound best on my Steinberger GL7TA guitar which has two EMG-89 pickups and Active EQ. You may have to make minor changes to the Graphic EQ to make these patches sound best on your guitar. My volume is always at 50-75%, so you may have to lower your volume as well or you could lower the Preamp Gain instead. For the AC/DC patches, I have my volume at about 60% for rhythm parts and 100% for solo sections. For my patches to sound perfect in your BOSS GT-10 make sure your OUTPUT SELECT is set to LINE/PHONES. I recommend you either run your BOSS GT-10 stereo direct into a mixing board, into a stereo keyboard amplifier (like the Traynor K4), or into two full-range (20Hz-20,000Hz) combo amplifiers.

How I Made These BOSS GT-10 Patches
By James Limborg Using a 64-band Spectrum Analyzer (shown above) I am able to copy the EQ frequencies of any sound (including a guitar). I first view the guitar sound I am trying to copy 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 Equalizer on the BOSS GT-10 I adjust the settings so my recorded guitar part produces the same frequencies the guitar sound I am trying to copy is producing. It's a very slow process. My results would come much faster and more accurate if the BOSS GT-10 had a 16-band or even better a 32-band Graphic EQ. Nevertheless I am able to copy any guitar sound nearly identical to the original artists guitar sound. This only works if the guitar sound I am trying to copy does not have any background music playing with it or I'd be viewing extra (unwanted) frequencies from the background music.
User Reviews, Comments, BOSS GT-10 Custom Patches By James Limborg
By Herman Englehart I had to use GT10 librarian to import the patches one at a time into the GT10 then edit them with the FX Floorboard. 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 Waldon 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 Tarbox Quick turn around. Easy installation with the BOSS Librarian and the sounds are killer!
By Mark Brockton 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 $75 bucks worth of audio gold! Anyway, must go and shred some more. Thanks James, Mark (UK)
By John Colaluca 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 Nunes (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 Rodrigues 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 Nunes (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 Stein (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.
