Ok long-winded story… This 4-input head was originally used for the PA at the restaurant/speakeasy/jazz club my grandfather played at every single weekend of my young life called the Marroe Inn in Trenton, NJ. In fact my actual first gig ever was sitting in on drums with his band at the Marroe when I was about 9 or 10 while my grandfather got up to sing a few Sinatra songs. Anyway after they retired this equipment and got a new setup at the Marroe, my grandfather asked if he could give it to me, his music obsessed grandson, because I was starting to play guitar and was in the need of some equipment. So this is became my very first guitar head. Rad right?" - Frank

In this Dec 15, 2009 article for Magnet Magazine, John Flansburg, as co-guest editor for the month, details his use of the Boss DR-110:

The DR-110 was an early tool for TMBG. There is nothing real about the sounds that came out of this early “pro-sumer” drum machine, but more singular to the DR-110, there was nothing particularly big sounding about it, either. The graphic display can be tapped into, which put it well past the pre-programmed “accompanist” rhythm boxes that were created for console organ players, and hearing the results of an entirely hypothetical graphical idea turned into a rhythm wasn’t usually successful but was still fascinating.

Additionally, in this 2025 Tumblr post, John confirms that the band used the Boss DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic for early Dial-A-Song recordings around 1984. This includes its use on the song "1999", the first demo of "Don't Let's Start", and tracks on the 1984 Promotional Demo Tape.

These are such great amps, proving sometimes all you need is 1 knob. Used this as a backstage/bus rig for years and then it became a living room/bedroom practice setup. I own two identical rigs and a combo version of this amp, all are for sale here." - Frank
