cheers man this is some great info lovin that me-70, looks like it can produce alot of groovy sounds. i am lookin for something that can cover all bases and my limit is bout 250, this is definitly a front runner at the moment. ive become fixated on getting the right sound, and 60s rock is exactly what im aiming for, theres so many great bits of gear out there, its just getting the one that makes the casino and the blackstar blend well together. im lovin some of the modernised 60's expreimental tones that bands like jet are producing. their distorted tones and overdriven solos sound great epecially on the get born album
