How to get the More Than a Feeling guitar tone

Boston

Mid-gain crunch that sits somewhere between a bar fight and a lullaby — crunchy enough to bite but controlled enough to sing. The mids are scooped back, which opens up the low end and gives the treble more room to cut — great for rhythm, though leads can disappear in a mix if you're not careful. Layer in chorus and plate reverb and the whole thing takes on a dimension you can't get from the amp alone.
