LOL Thanks.

A lot of the chime/harmonics comes from the RC Booster which gets out the best of Bogner's Channel 1.

Hunter - top quality as always. This has always been one of my favourite ZZ Top songs - you have done it justice, I'm sure Billy Gibbons would be happy with it.
I think I hate being indecisive.

What pickup positions were you using there? Sweet tone, really enjoyed listening.

Awesome, as always... I believe if I give you a Tonante guitar with a 5w Ciclotron amplifier you will make it sound good!  :D
