Bamber - Y not order your CD/DVD from here, I did - just click on the music tab at the top, then G3, then either the Amazon or Sony Link - dead easy!

Captain Steve - No offence mate, only mean't talentless on the guitar like me, every single person has a talent of some sort - not sure I want to know what yours is though hehe!

Dakook - Nice Advise, couldn't av said it betta myself!

Blue Moon - Hope to see your pics soon - post away

962 - "how very dare you" say that you don't like some of your tracks - - take that back!!!!! Would I like a CD of your very talented stuff - eeeeeerrrrrrrmmmm let me think???????? naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.HHOK

nathing would make me happier, no hold on a new CD from Joe would, sorry. But yes I would love one of your CD's to add to my guitar legends pile!!

js1200js1000 - Your easily pleased!! HAPPINESS EH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone remember rockin out to FREEBIRD - Classic track! Still rockin and air guitarin to that one! In fact, I think that song is what got me into guitar musac in the first place!

hey joe & gang,

man ,been watching mtv cribs some of the homes they show from the rock stars, rappers etc, are unbelievable

Rob310, hmm cool, ok. If you have an idea of what kind of overdrive sound you want, that'd help. But anyway, on those parameters, a decent valve combo would be good I think.

Cornford make a cool combo called a Harlequin. Their stuff sounds really nice and sophisticated - Joe used some Cornfords on the UK leg of his 2002 SBM tour.

Laney make some decent valve combos at a mid-range price. Their VC30 range are great - they're 30 watt class A valve amps so they don't need to be cranked ridiculously loud to get a good sound, but they've got tonnes of great gainy tone to play with. There's a few of them with different speaker combinations - VC30112 has a single 12-inch speaker, VC30210 has a pair of 10-inch speakers, and VC30212 has a pair of 12-inch speakers.

Andy Timmons and Paul Gilbert are both Laney users, so their stuff will give you a good idea of what Laney stuff generally sounds like.

I don't know much about Peavey stuff 'cause there's not much of it round my local region of the UK, but I'm just looking at some of their stuff and the Classic 50 range looks promising. They're all-valve combos, as are the Delta Blues amps. The Classic 50's have a master volume control too which is kinda nice - if it works the same as the master volume on my H&K, it means you can have the good tone at a practice amp level, although I'm not sure how that will work in an all-valve amp.

Then there's things like Vox and Marshall......in my opinion they're much more personal and you have to try them 'cause you either love 'em or hate 'em. More so with Vox than Marshall. Fender do make valve combos but they don't have a great overdrive channel. Fenders are famed for their clean channel sound, but not for their overdrive!

Hope some of that helps, feel free to ask more questions if you have them!

tracie and chelle......thanks for the info...start looking for it today itself.....cheers..AXEMAS>>>>>>>.hmmmmmmm...

anybody else with some more info????

alexandre...hoey there bro...glad to see yu back..see yu soon and take care......

Da Kook

Hi Joe

Thanks for the incredible Live in Tokyo DVD!

Picture and sound quality are amazing - a lot better than with previous G3 DVD. Your guitar sound was also much better and it brought memories of your live in San Francisco DVD. I think your playing was also improved a lot since "Yngwie-tour"

Thanks again

Stevee T

"Rowashburn...I do believe Joe's DS-1 is stock..maybe Joe will answer that one for you...?"

I would love to... ;)

"RoWashburn: Joe used to use a Japanese made Boss DS1. The ones made now are Taiwanese, so if you want it to sound kind of like a hifi version of the original Jap model, get it modded by Keeley...it's very good. I think ultimately though, you'll be better served ti save your money for an all tube amp that generates the distortion, instead of using a pedal...the difference is huge."

I talked to keeley, and he send me the mods in the DS-1...both the Seeing Eye Mod and the Ultra Mod, and I'm intending in doing it myself....already have the components for the mods...

...about the all tube amp, I'm about to buy one.

...I'm still in doubt about what amp I should get...and I'm getting an HandMade amp.( all point to point , hand wired )
