    Thanks guys for the nice welcome and answer a few questions, i am from a little town near Pink Floyd land (Cambridge), nice to see some brit strat players, as for the fuzz pedal its the fz-7. The only trouble with it is that its tooo loud and i have to turn down the level. Paid around £30 for it which i think is worth it, love the delay pedal as well.

    The fender BJ just rocks and makes the Vox sound tinny,

    Regards

    Mike
