In Through The Out Door is my pick, and Fool in the Rain's blue box solo / breakdown is my favorite section.

much of what i read in the new yorker these days is just dreadful. the best thing in the new yorker are the ads that middle aged women drunk on wine post about needing to find a man fluent in 10 languages. I couldn't disagree more with this statement. The New Yorker is full of great journalism - on...

Nice work - it sounds good. for my taste, i would fuck up some of the sounds more w/ eq/compression/re-amping. It's just a bit too clean and present in the hi-mid area for me.

I would rather be forced to tweak rail after rail of meth, while strapped to an uncomfortable chair wearing only a diaper and flip flops while a group a hot 19-yearold girls make fun of my penis, while being forced to listen to Menudo Sings the Partridge Family for a solid week than be subjected to...

Great insight - thanks. I'd probably be using it primarily on acoustic guitar; the samples on his webpage are helpful (and it sounds like what you described - aggressive and accurate) but I'm wondering if the top end is gonna be there for me if I need a cleaner, smoother type sound?
