Nice to join up here. I read some of the posts, and people here seem a lot nicer than those at another forum I won't name.

I'm an amateur guitarist with a love of the blues, particularly Chicago style. I have played out at jams a few times and now can contemplate doing it again without throwing up from nerves! I'm also very interested in recording some stuff on the PC but am pretty clueless about how to start.

My gear -- I've gone through several amps and stomp combinations. Had a Blues Driver and got it modded by Robert Keeley. Sold it. Had an Epiphone Valve Jr Head and sold it as well.

My current lineup is as follows:

Squier Affinity Strat with pickups from an 87 Japanese Strat.
Behringer Vampire LX112 amp
Arion Tubulator
Danelectro FAB Overdrive
Behringer OD100 (waiting on delivery)
Dunlop Crybaby

After buying the Vampire I decided to sell most of my other gear, including a Zoom GFX-1, Danelectro Surf & Turf Compressor, Behringer EQ-700, and Behringer DR100 reverb pedal. If you're interested in any of these let me know.

Anyway, looking forward to hanging out, swapping stories and ideas.
