Eric Johnson “Cliffs of Dover” – Guitar Tone

Capture the smooth, singing lead tone inspired by Eric Johnson’s iconic “Cliffs of Dover” sound, carefully crafted for the BOSS GX-100 / GX-10.

This patch delivers a warm, open and highly expressive lead tone, with the sustain, clarity and dynamic response associated with Eric Johnson’s legendary guitar sound.

For the demo, I used both a Gibson ES-335 and a Fender Stratocaster, demonstrating how the patch responds to different guitars.

IMPORTANT: For the closest results, use the bridge pickup with the guitar’s tone control rolled back. This is an important part of achieving that smooth, rounded character.

The patch was created to provide a strong, polished tone directly from the unit, with no additional post-processing or external FX used in the demo.

Perfect for expressive lead playing, melodic rock and smooth fusion tones.

VIDEO DEMO:

Ideal for live PA, Studio Monitors and you can also you it on your Amp’s Return FX Loop.

In this case please turn off the Cab Sim on the GX-100 for better results. (See image below)
