thanks a lot for listening and and all the kind words, charlie, guenter, richmac, patrick, floyd, greg, josie c, dani, janice & bud, rob, mario d and olemon

olemon: the b3 rt works just fine here – but i've had some installation problems with a very few other rt files – reinstalled the original rt files, and then it worked fine :-)

mario d: the guitar is a homemade stratocaster: mary kay-swamp ash body/big headstock lefthand maple neck from wd music, super-vee bladerunner tremolo and emg dg20 pickups (kind of my tribute stratocaster to jimi hendrix, david gilmour and mary kaye :-)

signal path: line6 pod x3 (larry carlton live tone – based on a '59 tweed amp with a little reverb) – tracked and mixed in motu dp8, through a roland space-echo plugin from uaudio and motu's own guitar amp room plugin (2x12', kind of fender twin reverb), and finally a little touch of lexicon 224 reverb uaudio plugin

one take, using the volume and tone controls on the guitar to adjust the sound – no real amps, only software!
i usually prefer real tube amps, but have to admit that the software amps are sounding better and better ;-)
