position 1 & 2 on strat, bass maybe a bit loud but thats the price of low tech :lol:
                                     1st half clean, 2nd half crunchy
                                                                                       enjoy(or not!)

Your clips are great!

[gordiji]

thanks tom, i do worry that recording on my field recorder with cr@ppy backing makes them a bit of a botch, but
                    hell , it's a guitar forum not a recording forum! anyway thanks again

I think the way you do it works perfectly for the purpose.

What amp did you use on this?

[gordiji]

thanks toe-knee, i used my engl screamer 50 combo on clean/ crunch, low vol hence the picking noise, heavy 
                            breathing etc.it's a great all round amp with the footswitch....keyboard does the backing
                            tascam drd2 records with internal mics.
                            next year i'll look at 'recording' for big boys!

you can get a decent pc/mac recording setup really cheap nowadays about £250 tops for a sm57 interface and reaper and youll be good to go.

Im surprised at those cleans being from an Engl ive always experienced them to be quite sharp and a bit to clinical on the cleans, then again ive only ever played througha  fireball and a powerball.

toe knee, the engl cleans are particularly good, i even use the bright switch but back off the treble to about
                10'o'clock, bass 9'o'clock and mid 3'o'clock.all the controls on my guitar full out as i can never remember
                 to change them as i concentrate on my playing(i'm not a natural)
                 the recording set up you mention is what i'll look into, but it's more of a learning curve than a cost
                 thing as i've virtually no IT skills.thanks for your suggestions.
                 cheers tellboy :D
