Loving my tone right now !  

Today I've been playing around with Amplitube doing a kind of comparison between a digital plugin and the real thing.

I have to say this is a more neighbour friendly option !!

Had some fun mucking about with different pedals and cabs, even mic and room positions.

You can't beat the real thing for that 'I'm a guitarist feeling' but this is good fun to play about with, plus is a lot cheaper !!! 

Hi, I'm Richard (Chud)

I've been playing the guitar on and off since I was 13, I'm now 49 and forever looking for better sounds and tones.

My biggest music influence over the years has been Metallica, I first heard Orion back in '87 and I had to know who was playing it and have been a massive fan of them since.
