Thanks to all, for the warm reception
marnold - cheers and "Toda".
Robert - i watched most of you clips and I like your playing. some magical finger tips you got there... great.
Thanks for the suggestion. I would have to go and listen to the maxon sd-9 although I got a feeling it is something between an overdrive and a fuzz, and I may be looking for something else. I still haven't decided myself, but i think it'may be a "marshall is a box" or that area. don't know for sure yet. anything else you are thinking about?
